The
Cinnamon challenge
The Cinnamon challenge is a dare game who involves the attempt to
swallow a spoon of cinnamon. Since the early 2000s, the game has been well
known because it is extremely difficult to do. Today, the cinnamon challenge is
a well-known phenomenon on YouTube, and there are thousands of videos about the
challenge.
The earliest known attempt is the Cinnamon challenge in 2001, and it was
hosted by Michael Buffington and played by Erik Goodlad. The challenge was
posted as a blog article on Buffington’s blog.
However, the earliest YouTube version was not uploaded until April 2006.
This video was called “Pipe Attempts the Cinnamon challenge”.
After 2006, many similar videos was posted on YouTube, and it became a
great hit. The number of YouTube videos have increased greatly the last couple
of years, and they are only getting funnier and funnier. You will absolutely
find one video you like. One of the funniest videos I have seen is one uploaded
by GloZell.
The reason why it became so popular have to be because it is hilarious
to watch people trying to eat a spoon of cinnamon. People do not think it is
hard to eat cinnamon, and do not understand why this should be funny, which
makes it even more hilarious. They are coughing cinnamon and looking for water.
The cinnamon challenge today is really famous, and people are still uploading
new videos. A google search of cinnamon challenge gives us 18 800 000
hits, and there are over 40.000 videos of the Cinnamon challenge on YouTube. This
meme have been there for several year, and I think it is going to be popular
for a long time. It is easy to find it entertaining, and people are enjoying this
kind of jokes or pranks.
However, this challenges actually more dangerous than it appears, people
are being poisoned and sickened because of this. Inhaling the cinnamon powder
into the lung can be dangerous. On the other hand, I do not this will affect
the popularity and people will still do and laugh of this dare.
