Matthew Vezeau -- 15-Sep-2012 11:38:03 pm -- The cinnamon challenge is actually very dangerous. It even life-threatening. The cinnamon acts as a sponge once it hits your pallet, especially once it gets to your throat. It causes it to dry and close. Drinking water can make it even worse! Water will make the cinnamon into a mud-like texture that will clog your throat further.
I don't know if you've ever heard of a radio show, two radio hosts named Opie and Anthony. These two got one of their willing radio assistants to do this date, and he literally almost choked to death--right there on the radio. This was NOT a stunt, it was very serious.
The dare may seem harmless, but it is definitely not worth what could happen and what the spice does to the lining of your esophagus.
Just for another point of reference, on Myth-busters the insurance providers required medical staff on hand if they were to even think of trying it.
