    It's always great fun to bet someone that they can't eat a teaspoon full of cinnamon in a minute. In case you didn't know, it's impossible

    See attached for the most recent losers and my dog's drinking buddy...

    Damn, I wanna try now. Is it harmful to one's health/relaxation or is it just one of those impossible things like trying to eat 3 dry crackers?

    Yes but can you eat them under 3.07 minutes (current world record I think). :)

    it's not dangerous, it's just impossible and pretty uncomfortable. It's like trying to eat 2 pieces of white bread in under a minute, but funnier

    from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cream_cracker

    The Guinness Book of World Records states that Ambrose Mendy consumed three crackers in 34.78 seconds in 2005. Consuming three crackers in a short space of time is extremely difficult due to a lack of moisture.

    edit. double bet too it, but i had the right answer,

    Does it come in a dumpy little bottle without a neck? I believe that's made in USA, but not sure. Never have tasted it.

    i tried holding my nose (those pics aren't me, it's my brother and friend). My problem is that if you try to breath in, it gets in your lungs

    i wish i still had pictures. we have a drinking game over here called "edward 40 hands". You have to have a 40 oz bottle duct taped to each hand and both bottles MUST be finished befre you can relieve yourself. fun times.

    That's the problem with humanity my friend. Too many people breathing.

    If the CIA are monitoring this forum we have just given them a new weapon in the War on Evil - The Cinnamon Challenge. I don't think that it'll work though....

    Donald: Honestly, Osama - take this teaspoon of cinnamon & we'll take you off the most wanted list.
    Osama: Ptoo! Ptoo! But it is impossible you son of a flea-infested camel!
    Donald: Aw gee - You can do it if you hold your nose.
    Osama: Infidel bastard! You try to trick me into dying with your not-breathing latter-day crusader chicanery!
    Donald: You ay-rab folk are too clever for me.
