Kids Are Snorting Condoms!
(WJRT) (4/3/2018) - The condom challenge has teenagers filming themselves snorting a condom through their nose until it comes out of their mouth.
The challenge has actually been around since 2007; but after the recent Tide Pod challenge, teenagers became interested again.
Dr. Gomez warned the spermicide inside the condom being snorted is extremely dangerous.
"The spermicide, or chemical substance, gets left within; and, maybe, either ingested or swlallowed or aspirated into the lungs, killing cells and therefore causing damage," he explained.

So apparently this has been going on forever. This thing surfaced in the early 2000’s, fell by the wayside, and then popped back up with all this tide pod stuff. I don’t know what to say! You shouldn’t put spermicide in your mouth! Is that what I’m supposed to say? I guess you shouldn’t do it! I’m not a scientist, but anything that ends with the suffix, “cide,” also known in latin as, “cidium” aka the word for “killing” probably doesn’t belong in your stomach. But I think high school kids know that! I mean yeah, I'm sure that you've got a bunch of virgins walking about convinced that spermicidal condoms are the only brand out there (I was one of them)- but it doesn't take much to know that there's a diverse, fruitful, and affordable condom market out there. When it comes down to it, it’s really not my place to tell people what to put where, and this honestly doesn't seem that bad. C'mon parents, either be mad that your kids are having sex in high school, or be mad that they're using the latex tools of sexiness to floss their noses, but don't be both. It's unbecoming. I'd say this is a far better bet than the Tide Pod challenge, with one giant exception.
My big issue with this is just that I’m still in denial that our mouths and noses connect. That freaks me out. I don’t know why, but it does. If I put something in my mouth it shouldn’t pop up end up in my nose, and under no circumstances should I be able cram something in my nose that then I pull out of my mouth. I thought this was the whole point of not deviating your septum, so shit like this wouldn’t happen.This may seem absurd but I’m being honest. It doesn't matter that it's a condom! It could be a gummy worm, or a real worm, or holy water! All bad!
Give me a tide pod and turn my kidneys into toxic cottage cheese, but god forbid I snort a condom. Do what you want kids, snort your penis balloons and spermicide your nostrils, I choose death.
