What? Why? Kids these days!

In case you missed the ‘condom-snorting challenge’ — and didn’t know it’s a bad idea

Imagine unrolling a condom and stuffing it up one side of your nose, then plugging the other nostril and inhaling until the long piece of latex slides into your throat. Then you reach back there with your fingers and pull it from your mouth.

Why would someone do that?

Apparently for the same reason young people have dared each other to pour salt in their hands and hold ice until it burns; douse themselves in rubbing alcohol and set themselves on fire; or bite into colorful liquid laundry detergent packets.

It’s a game called the “condom-snorting challenge” and, not unlike other dangerous dares that have swept social media, teenagers have been trying it for years.

“There are all kinds of drugs, and kids are clever, so it’s just really: What are our kids doing? So, that’s what we try to share,” Stephen Enriquez, a state education specialist in San Antonio, told Fox affiliate KABB.

Enriquez visited a school to warn parents and teachers not only about drugs and alcohol but also about these social media challenges, according to the station.

Ribbed or regular?

An old high school mate of mine used to do that as a bar trick. So far as I know, he still does. It's not new, he's been at for over thirty years.

Next you know, they'll be running with scissors.

The real teen challenge is to run with your shoe laces untied.

Even my mother knows you can't do that without breaking your neck.

I did some stupid shit in high school and college but this is simply fucking ignorant:

It’s not certain how the Tide pod fad got started.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a warning to parents several years ago about the liquid laundry detergent packets. The agency said the capsules — which are colorful, squishy and smell good — are attractive to young children but contain “highly concentrated, toxic detergent” that can cause harm.

In 2015, the Onion published a satirical op-ed from the perspective of a toddler who wanted to eat them.

At some point, the pods became alluring to older children. Last year, College Humor published a video titled “Don’t Eat the Laundry Pods. (Seriously. They're Poison.).” It showed a college student researching the dangers associated with exposure to the packets, then devouring them. He ended up on an ambulance stretcher.

One expert conceded that young children are inclined to explore but was surprised at the number of older children and teenagers who are putting the packets in their mouths.

Last year, U.S. poison control centers received reports of more than 10,500 children younger than 5 who were exposed to the capsules. The same year, nearly 220 teens were reportedly exposed, and about 25 percent of those cases were intentional, according to data from the American Association of Poison Control Centers.

I blame a lack of great hallucinogenics for kids boredom, which leads to other stoopid behavior. Bring back teh Orange Sunshine and fuck teh Pods.

[Benny Profane]

Wait. Used or unused?

And now they have computers that make all the instrument noises, so nobody starts a band and plays three chords in their parents garage, ad nauseum.

We used to play that game with spaghetti

I remember Ranquet doing that when he was super young. We were kids and believes somebody that told us it was because of all the cocaine he did.

[Meadow Skipper]

We should be grateful they're not sitting around absorbed in whatever nonsense is on their phones. Tweetering or whatever.

Extra difficulty points for ribbed.

I like how Tide pods are just assumed in your world.

We could jam in Joe's Garage
His mama was screamin'
His dad was mad
We was playin' the same old song
In the afternoon 'n' sometimes we would
Play it all night long
It was all we knew, 'n' easy too
So we wouldn't get it wrong

I had a roommate in college who would approach a girl in the bar, ask if he could borrow her necklace, then snort one end up his sinuses. He'd then cough up the end, and attach the clasp, leaving the necklace hanging out of his nose and mouth. He was pretty classy. He's a border patrol agent in San Diego now...

That's disgusting...I mean who knows where those necklaces have been,...or how much they've had ejaculated on to them.
