Info
The Cinnamon Challenge is a popular dare game in which a person attempts to swallow a tablespoon of cinnamon without vomiting or inhaling the powder. Thousands of videos with people attempting the challenge have been uploaded on YouTube -- few succeed.
Origin
According to Channel 4’s Rude Tube show, in 2006 a Scandinavian YouTuber posted a video of himself in an attempt to swallow a teaspoon of cinnamon. His attempt failed, and he spat out the cinnamon into a bucket.
While the challenge became a viral phenomenon on YouTube, its origin precedes the history of the video-sharing community. Based on Google search results, the earliest known mention of “Cinnamon Challenge” can be found in a blog entry by Jason Kottke dating back to December 22, 2001
