I've never heard of the salt challenge, it sound rather painful lol. But the cinnamon one, yes, I have. I'm in Culinary in my school, and upstairs in our kitchen we have one of the commercial sized containers of cinnamon. Some of my classmates every once in awhile will challenge each other to the cinnamon challenge, and I just sit there and watch, already knowing what will happen. I've yet to see anyone actually swallow a tablespoon of cinnamon without having to spit it back out. Needless to say though, it's funny every single time that I watch it happen xD

I've only seen people do the cinnamon challenge, and I just can't hop on that bandwagon. It looks sooo painful!

Hahahahhahahaha, i used to do the salt challenge for fun in middle school.
There is also the eraser challenge, where you erase your skin until you get a burn, and you keep going until you can't handle it anymore.
I've always wanted to try to cinnamon challenge, my friends made a video of them eat a HUGE spoonful of it, and they succeeded, they are the only people i know that have managed to not cough it up.
However, i don't think I want to try it.

Though I'm thinking about getting back into the salt challenge for fun.

Hadn't heard of the salt challenge until now, and I can say my honest opinion on that is eff that mess. That sounds like it'll do more harm than provide laughter.

o.o I've never heard of either.

But honestly, I would like to try the salt challenge. Does it leave marks? How long do they last? Is there anything that could go horribly wrong?

I DID THE CINNAMON CHALLENGE!!! :D :D :D In the bathroom.... at school... with my friend... She said I looked like a fire-breathing dragon xD The cinnamon came out of my mouth and nose, and I was just getting over a cold, so every time I blew my nose, cinnamon would be in the tissue -__- tmi? sowwy 3: But yeah, it wasn't as bad as everyone's making it out to be! It was fun...

Salt challenge? I REFUSE I REFUSE I REFUSE!!! T____T

I've heard of both, the cinnamon challenge looks terrible i've never tried it personally, and i probably never will.

The salt challenge is A LOT worse if you put the pile of salt in your hand then clench the ice cube as tight as you can, lol.

Cinnamon I did.
It burns your throat and you spit it out and i gagged for like a good 2 mins.

I've never heard of the salt challenge. Sounds very painful though! o.o
As for the cinnamon challenge, I've tried and of course failed. I thought it would be easy 'cause when I think cinnamon I think sweet. Wrong. I gagged and coughed for so long and felt like I had cinnamon stuck in my throat all day.
Never again! Dx

I once tried the cinnamon challenge. Back then I figured it wouldn't be too bad. I thought, "Meh, it's just cinnamon. It'll probably taste good."

:( I was so horribly wrong.

Cinnamon challenge wasn't such a hard one, but it wasn't easy.
It was just reeeeally hard to swallow, it felt like there was a huge ball of cotton in my mouth. lol
The salt challenge just sounds stupid, why would I want to scar myself....

I watched a video on the cinnamon challenge, and the kid threw up Dx I, myself have not done the challenge... and I don't plan to :D

The top layer of your skin cells, your epidermis, is dead. It's the layer below that, your dermis, where the live skin cells are and THAT'S what gets harmed by the salt challenge. Salt and ice does create a mild version of dry ice. So the salt challenge leaves a second degree to a third degree burn, it can leave worse burns too. If you take it off quickly it may leave a very minor burn which can heal in 24-48 hours or a first degree burn. The burns are hideous, and they leave scars.

I've done the cinnamon challenge, almost got it down to my stomach but eh. Had spat it out in a bowl and use a lot of water. That's no where near as dangerous as the salt challenge, though, in a sense it's potentially worse at the same time. Just less likely to happen. I find some of them funny, like Glozell's... xD Gosh that lady is crazy. I dunno if she's trolling or what, though. ://

I always thought the eraser thing was stupid and I used to steal the salt bottle and just eat the salt. I've loved salt since I was a kid, at school I'd get the salt packets and just suck on them slowly. Gross, but heeyy. Salt's good bro.
