Condom Snorting! Is it safe?

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.

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?

skills are spread through the population at large? Reminds me, a bit, of the medieval apprenticeship system . . . .

But he was under three. Adolescents are as close to toddlers as it gets. Too much curiosity and capability and too little forebrain action.

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!

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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...)
