Condom challenge

As a child, one of my friends would gross out crowds of onlookers by inhaling a gold chain through her nose and pulling it out through her mouth.

Now this disturbing feat has evolved, thanks to adventurous teens on YouTube. But it’s condoms these teens are inhaling nasally and then pulling out of their mouths.

Doctors are warning against the “condom challenge” because, if the condom were to be stuck in the nasal cavity, the challenger could quickly choke and die.

Please kids, save condoms for safe sex.
