Title: Dry-Scooping Challenge
Post by: Emperor Reagan on June 02, 2021, 01:06:18 PM: This is pretty funny: https://www.complex.com/life/20-year-old-heart-attack-trying-dry-scooping-tiktok-challenge/ The whole Tide pod challenge was fake, but it appears people are really doing this challenge where you consume a dry scoop of pre-workout.

Pre-workout is basically a stimulant blend. They'll have as much caffeine as 3-4 cups of coffee and a bunch of other ingredients with stimulant effects. I've taken pre-workout a couple of times prior to going to the gym (according to the directions on the bottle, i.e. only trying a little bit and mixing it with a lot of water). It made me super jittery (and I'm not caffeine sensitive, either), so I don't use them at all.

What ever happened to stimulant-inclined people just doing a little cocaine? It's probably better for you.

I can see how that could cause a heart attack, If I hadn't been as young and fit as I was I could have had a problem.

Nicotine is one of the most deadly substances we could possibly ingest ...
(IE: 1-2 of those drops would kill the average man)

Think about that ...

Yeah I think I did more damage with that shit than with all the "illegal" drugs I've done put together.

He used to have a CIA manual where they had instructions for extracting & processing the nicotine out of cigarettes & using it to kill people.

1-2 drops and they are no longer with us ...

If the one-two drops mentioned for an adult is accurate then I can see this happening. An ashtray full of butts might seem pretty interesting. Lots of kids eat burnt matches.
