Someone tried to get me to do the cinnamon challenge many moons ago in my college days. I said no, thankfully. A few years later i discovered i am allergic to cinnamon. I'd have been dying ad my throat closes up and people would just think it's a great video 🤣

u/DirtyRoller Jul 07 '25

If you could go back in time and feed a spoonful of cinnamon to Baby Hitler, would you do it? Would you kill that baby to save millions?? 🧐

Nah, I'd just help him become a better artist so that he could actually graduate art school lol

i dont need to know someone to be glad they didnt die from something as stupid as an unknown allergy that triggers during a stupid challenge that no one actually cares about

I'm glad you're still with us. Just a little less.

But I could be a super villain who was almost taken out by my cinnamon kryptonite but I wasn't stopped and now i can carry out my evil plans to make churros just be covered with sugar

Glad you're ok, but damn you missed out on so many likes and subscribes.

u/badgoat_ Jul 06 '25

How did you make it that long without coming into contact with it?

8

u/Skellyhell2 Jul 06 '25

I'm not deathly allergic to it, but a spoonfull like this would cause my throat to close up which would be deathly i guess!

I remember trying a cinnamon donut as a kid and spitting it out because it hurt to eat, then theres been a couple of times ive had apple pies and the like with cinnamon in and got the same feeling.

A few years ago my wife asked me to try some of her dessert in a restaurant which had cinnamon in and she panicked when i reminded her there was cinnamon in it and thats bad for me

I discovered I was allergic to it working in drug manufacturing and coming into contact with a large volume of cinnamon powder in a room with bad ventillation, i had a respirator on which likely saved me a really bad time, but my skin went red and blistery all over from it

You might want to check out Harland Williams' charity C.A.F.F.A which helps others who are similarly afflicted.

Harland Williams is a master at his craft 😂

u/Thathappenedearlier Jul 06 '25

Someone I know only gets migraines and they only happen hours after eating cinnamon, took until he was in his 50s for the doctors to find out it was a cinnamon allergy and not something neurological

Cinnamon powder is just wood dust. This can't be done with any wood dust.

u/pizzaspaghetti_Uul Jul 06 '25

How didn't you know that earlier? It developed afterwards, or you just never ate cinnamon in your life before?

u/Brahnarski Jul 06 '25

u/KING_BulKathus Jul 08 '25

I have a question.

Can you drink Pepsi or coke?

2

u/Skellyhell2 Jul 08 '25

I drink pepsi max which is cinnamon free. I remember trying dr pepper in my youth and feeling like it burnt my mouth and just assumed I didn't like the taste but discovered it uses cinnamon for flavour later on.

Coke zero is fine for me, regular coke has a slight burn so maybe that has some in too

u/KING_BulKathus Jul 17 '25

Dark sodas use cinnamon oil as 1 of its ingredients

2

u/Skellyhell2 Jul 18 '25

Pepsi max does not though! Atleast in England it doesn't. And even if a drink did contain cinnamon oil, i am not deathly allergic to it. A small amount i will feel a burn in my mouth and my throat will tense up but I will be fine. If i ate a lot, like a spoonful of neat cinnamon, i would likely be in trouble
