TikTok has been around for nine years now. Here’s a fun look back .
A personal injury firm in California came up with a list of the five most DANGEROUS TikTok challenges of all time, based on E.R. stats and news reports.
1. The Blackout Challenge. It’s where you deprive yourself of oxygen to get “high.” It went viral in 2021. They claim it’s caused at least 100 deaths since then, maybe more.
2. The Tide Pod Challenge. Eating laundry pods for fun. Between 2016 and 2020, it landed at least 35,000 kids in the E.R.
3. The Milk Crate Challenge. The one that had people walking up and down a stack of milk crates. It led to over 8,000 E.R. visits in 2020 and 2021. Injuries included concussions, bruises, and broken bones.
4. The Fire Challenge. Pouring flammable liquids on your skin and lighting it. A bunch of kids suffered serious burns, or worse.
5. The Benadryl Challenge. Risking death to get “high” on cold meds. It got popular in 2020.
