These challenges are awful in absolutely every way. It’s hard to think of a more senseless way to go.

Are there any social media “challenges” that are actually funny, entertaining or creative rather than just being unpleasant and/or dangerous?

When Patrick Stewart did the ice bucket challenge by putting a single ice cube into a glass of whiskey, then signing a cheque for ALS research.

while i agree some of the challenges are dumb, this challenge is literally just “eat one spicy chip and dont drink water afterwards” i have to imagine that if the chip did kill him, he mustve been allergic or something. ive eaten a whole bag of Paqui chips before no problem.

The bag of Paqui chips are nothing like the single chip that is eaten during the challenge. It is a single chip that comes in its own package for like $10. It is drenched in reaper pepper powder and is literally thousands of times hotter than the bag of chips when measured on the Scoville scale. I’ve done it a few times and it puts grown men on the floor.

What about eating extremely spicy foods is appealing to you? Like to the point where you don’t enjoy the flavor it’s just pain you are going for

On an empty stomach something like that can cause major issues in the stomach/intestines

Even if this isn’t the most dangerous of challenges it’s still incredibly pointless and uninspired. Are there any that aren’t?

Anyone born after 1993 can’t cook, all they know is McDonalds, charge phone, eat hot chip, and die
