Dangerous Challenge: Why do young people pull condoms through their noses
What's worse than a dangerous social media trend? Right! A dangerous social media trend that persists over the years like a reluctant wart on the big toe!
Like no other challenge, this criterion fulfills the so-called condom sniffing. The protagonist stuffs a condom into a nostril and pulls it up through strong inhalation through the nose until the end comes out at the back of the neck. Then he or she takes the rubber out of his mouth with his hand, uploads the video to YouTube and waits for Likes.
Risks: From gagging to lung collapse
Here's an example in which the challenge succeeds, but where you still clearly see how uncomfortable and dangerous it is (Attention: nothing for the faint of heart!)
In many other cases, the "adventure" is less good: people vomit, threaten to suffocate, get panic attacks or even allergic reactions? health risks, the challenge holds enough. Anyone who inadvertently ingests or even inhales the condom must expect serious consequences for the digestive system or lungs.
The "special" of the Challenge: your longevity
What's so special about this challenge compared to Pussy Slapping, Salt & Ice Challenge and other dangerous social media actions: It has a damn long history for a viral trend. The first contributions found their way into the net in 2007. In 2013, condom sniffing became famous when a young woman "challenged" Taylor Swift's "22".
What has led to the trend is currently gaining popularity is not very clear. However, there is now a positive development: Many creators use their channel and influence to expressly distance themselves from the condom sniffing challenge and warn against it. And the genius of it: There are often more likes than for the challenge itself.
