There have been a lot of “challenges” going around. Some of them harmless for the most part like the cinimmon challenge in which has something to do with swallowing a mouth full cinimmon in less than one minute. Some of very dangerous like the set yourself on fire challenge.
Do you think this is a modern problem? I remember kids wanting to play 'chicken' with cars, playing games with knives, etc. This could be a modern iteration of an age-old human instinct to limit population by misdirecting pre-adults into doing life-threatening actions believing they are invincible. The military is a good example. Fran kly, although it looks and sounds absurd to put a Tide-pod in your mouth, and, may be deadly, it may be just the modern version of what Teens have been doing for centuries.
Frankly, I'd like to know what these kids' families are like. Perhaps Father Nature has a way of limiting imbeciles or flawed human beings this way.
