    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.

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