Cinnamon Challenge

[guyver01]

omg... just saw this on Tosh.0

The Cinnamon Challenge is simple. Take 1 teaspoon of Cinnamon and attempt to swallow it within 60 seconds without the use of water. Most believe it’s easy to do, yet it’s practically impossible. Your body cannot produce enough saliva to wash the Cinnamon down. When people try, the first symptom is the inhalation of the cinnamon which is almost immediately followed by “dragon breath” where the user exhales a big puff of powder .


Go to YouTube and search cinnamon challenge... it's freaking hilarious.

I told my friends I would do it if they bought the cinnamon... lo and behold, we go to WalMart and they find a big thing of cinnamon for 50 cents. i've been trying to put it off as long as I can but I don't know how much longer I can push it. FML.

A friend of mine did it. He sneezed cinnamon for a week after that.

It's pretty hard to find actual true cinnamon.

i'm gonna try to get my gf to do this on camera

1 teaspoon is really a small amount. I'm not going to try it though. I just wonder how long it actually takes? If one could do a little sugar beforehand it probably would work, but that would certainly be a cheat.

edit: The Youtube vid I watched they were doing a Tablespoon. 3 started, 2 eventually spat it out, 1 Passed.

heaping tablespoon != teaspoon

I recall a similar challenge like this that involved X number of saltines in a minute. Was it 3? 4? 6?.... All I recall was trying over and over and over and could not do it.

WTF, you don't have a super market near you?

They had Erock do this as a bit on Opie & Anthony. Poor fat tub got really sick afterwards IRL. I don't recommend trying this at home. You can choke on it pretty easily because it's such a fine powder.

me and my buddies tried to do a similar thing w/ like 10 saltine crackers

fucking IMPOSSIBLE.

I think he's saying that most people in the US know cinnamon as cinnamon cassia as opposed to cinnamon ceylon. It is more expensive to find ceylon from Sri Lanka ('true cinnamon')

While a teaspoon may be hard if not still impossible, they are taking giant fucking tablespoons full, not a teaspoon.

this.

All the ones I've seen it's a heaping table spoon, like the hot chick they had do it on Tosh.0 last night.

A leveled off teaspoon is a lot more doable.

the saltines one is easy, but you have to keep the crackers between your cheeks and teeth so they dont instantly absorb all the saliva in your mouth

dude, there was no way the crackers were doing anything but absorbing saliva.

7-10 depending on the bet. 7 is hard, 10 is next to impossible without water.

There's another one where you're supposed to eat a jar of grape jelly with a spoon in under a certain amount of time. For some reason your stomach will just reject that much grape jelly and you'll puke before getting halfway.

There's a video out there somewhere of a guy getting two girls to do it, but replacing one girls' spoon with cayenne instead of cinnamon. It's hilarious.
