Worst TikTok trends




Tiktok is a Chinese app, where you can make videos, watch them and share them.

There are many so called "TikTok trends", and I want to share you the worst trends that has been made. If you are sensitive, I suggest you don't read this post because it contains death!


1. The ice cream licking challenge

So, this is a challenge that happened in 2019. The idea was that you had to go to a supermarket, open an ice cream container, lick the ice cream and then put it back. This is a health hazard and no one wants to buy ice cream that somebody has already licked. This caused a lot of waste for the supermarkets, because they had to get rid of all the ice cream.


2. The Benadryl challenge

In this challenge people took excessive amounts of Benadryl, which is a allergy medicine. In high doses you can experience hallucinogenic effects. Sadly, people has died because of this stupid challenge.


3. Eating laundry products

This trend began in 2017. People were jokingly eating tide pods but not everybody knew that it was a joke. Eight people were reported dying from this challenge.



4. The blackout challenge

This was a challenge were people were told to choke themselves until they passed out. This is a very dangerous thing to do. Sadly, this challenge also lead to death of a 10-year old girl.


5. The outlet challenge

The Outlet Challenge is yet another dangerous TikTok trend that involves inserting the prongs of a charger partially into an electrical outlet. People then proceeded to touch the exposed metal, resulting in an electric shock.



Conclusion

I do think that TikTok is a great app, but these dangerous trends needs to stop. We should teach kids more about the dangers in these kind of apps. And to teach them that not everything is true on the internet.😣
