Keek Your Cinnamon Challenge

By Chris Landerberg


If you want to do the cinnamon challenge, you have to swallow a whole tablespoon of cinnamon without throwing it up. Younger adults who want to capture videos like to record themselves doing the cinnamon challenge. This activity should really be called the Cinnamon prank, because it's mostly a prank feeding on the the lack of knowledge people have about the difficulty of swallowing cinnamon. Bystanders get to witness the action and often find themselves experiencing fits of laughter as their friends try to get the cinnamon down.

The challenge is often coupled with the saltine cracker challenge, where people try to eat a certain number of the salty squares within a minute. Both of these challenges dry out the mouth to such an extent that it becomes impossible to swallow the food. Though some people have completed the activity successfully, the vast majority of participants end up failing, usually while making funny faces and amusing those who are holding the camera. With the cinnamon in particular, the texture of the spice makes it especially hard to get down. All in all, though, it can be a fun time, and friends often attempt it together to pass the time or to impress others with their fortitude or prowess.

For those individuals who simply want to watch the heroics, there are a great many clips out there of people eating full tablespoons of cinnamon on Keek.com. In most cases, they are meticulous in the way they measure out the spice, having surely been told that even one ounce under the proper amount will disqualify them from the challenge. Many of the participants are in their late teens or early twenties, and a fair majority of these people are in college. Imbibing the cinnamon is a generally harmless activity, though the powder that is left in the aftermath can cause some coughing. This is considered part of the fun, especially for observers who have no horse in the contest.

The cinnamon should ideally be as fresh as possible. Spices that have been sitting around for months or even years can develop odd tastes that are in no one's best interest. Using a proper tablespoon is the best way to ensure that the specified amount is used. The tablespoon should be made flat with a knife so that there is no extra cinnamon involved. The challenge is hard enough to complete as it is. If two friends are doing it together, it is better if they go at the same time. They can observe each other's reactions as the festivities progress.

Ultimately, the cinnamon challenge should be filmed if at all possible. Even for people who fail to complete it, they can document their troubles and post it to the web. This way, they will assuredly find themselves part of the distinguished group of people who have gone through with the proceedings. If nothing else, it should provide some laughs for everyone who happens to witness what is going on.
