Kids snort the darndest things.
The "condom challenge" is the newest, most disturbing YouTube trend in which young kids snort condoms and then pull them out of their mouths. Yes, it's as gross as it sounds.
Though videos surfaced online as early as October, the challenge recently picked up speed with one YouTube user's post, where a girl completes the challenge while blasting Taylor Swift's "22" in the background -- probably not what the singer had in mind when she wrote the song.
We at HuffPost Weird News hope that by looking through a slideshow of teens snorting condoms, you will be horrified into never trying it -- or allowing others to try it.

(7,515 posts)the girl snorting the condom...or the fools talking about it. "If the condom was 'occupied' it'd be a little hard"
Is it safe? Is auto-erotic asphyxia safe? Yet people do it...this seems less dangerous, who knows?

(4,833 posts)could pop a cherry into her mouth and tie the stem into a knot with her tongue was considered quite, um, skilled.

(7,515 posts)I can do that! This, however, is not a new trick I am interested in learning!

(4,833 posts)skills are spread through the population at large? Reminds me, a bit, of the medieval apprenticeship system . . . .

(7,515 posts)If not for 'apprenticeships' how would anyone, learn anything?

Must add cherries to the shopping list.
I might need practice.

(7,515 posts)The trip to the urgent care center and the difficulty the doctor had removing it, cured her of that before it became a habit! Thank heaven!
nolabear
(41,930 posts)We couldn't get the damned thing out. The doctor smiled and said "We doctors have a special tool just for raisins." He then made a little hook in the end of a paper clip and fished it out (while WE held the kid down!). I wish I had that paper clip. I'd put it under glass and present it to him on the birth of his first. LOL!

(7,515 posts)They eventually had to use a local anesthetic and a special instrument, a very long tweezers like thing, to remove it.

(41,930 posts)tripped over the gas hose while Mr Bear was filling the tank and got a face full of gasoline. That's the one where we called 911 and they showed up with the eyewash. He's the one we also had to summon 911 for when he got his head stuck in the bannister and we could NOT get it back out. I told them it wasn't a dire emergency but they showed up sirens roaring anyway, and one of the EMTs ran in gleefully exclaiming "I just read about this!" They still couldn't get him out and had to cut the bannister.
Btw the arm? Just fell off a chair. Right there in the kitchen with me. OY, kids...but this same guy was at my house last night at 26, delightedly introducing me to the joys of some reality show where people make life sized Rock-em Sock-em Robots and wear suits that guide them as they wale away at one another. My pacifistic little soul completely collapsed into primitive "KILL HIM!!" mode, much to my son's delight.

(7,515 posts)there was always someone needing stitches, somewhere! Or so it seemed. There were 3 years and 4 months between the oldest and the youngest! They played tag along the overhang of the first floor when we were building a new house...nearly gave the electrical contractor a heart attack when he saw it! Put baby alligators in the swimming pool (we live in FL) Broke teeth on trampolines. I have nerves of steel!
Our kids make us prematurely gray, and are our greatest joy!
I'm sure you son loved it! Mine would.

(9,681 posts)at urgent care showed her the long tweezer like things and told her she had a choice. Blow it out or he would go after it...needless to say..... She never stuck anything where it didn't belong again (as far as I know), she is now 29.

(26,595 posts)Doesn't seem safe at all, and I'd wonder if it's mainly girls doing it and intended as some sort of pseudo-sexual humiliation? (The slide show looks like it contains boys as well, though...)
