Apparently it's supposed to be impossible to take a tablespoon of cinnamon, and there's several videos online of people attempting it and failing. Has anyone ever tried it, it doesn't seem like it would be that hard I think I might try it.

Here's a sample of what I mean:

Most "cinnamon" that is purchased by consumers... ISN'T CINNAMON! It's actually cassia or chinese cinnamon. It has high amounts of coumarin which is a blood thinner and shouldn't be taken in large doses. Thank you chemistry background.

It's impossible if you do it precisely. No drinking beforehand, take the whole spoonful at once, no drinking while it's in your mouth.

I've seen 10 people fail at it in one night. What a waste of cinnamon. It ended up vomitted back into the sink.

I'd put $1,000 down if someone does it.

*sigh* why bother if you already know it's impossible? do you really want to test your limits? if so, play a sport or something.

That's interesting, but I though coumarin was banned in the US a long time ago? Either way, I've learned something new today.

"The Cinnamon Dare", as it's called in some circles, is nothing more than a thinly veiled litmus test for stupidity. Not unlike the classic scams involving mysterious fortunes coming out of Nigeria to unsuspecting recipients in other parts of the world, the real point of the dare is not to get someone to eat cinnamon, but rather to find out which of your friends is an unbelievable douche-tard.

And once you've properly identified them as such, you'll be better able to exploit them in other more profitable ways.

I tried a teaspoon of cinnamon and it gets stuck in between your teeth and in your throat and it choked me. I started coughing cinnamon smoke. Just make sure to have some water near by and it also burns your tongue a little. The aftertaste is somewhat bad. I think thats all you need to know. Oh yeah don't try more then a teaspoon.

As pertaining to the person about the milk dare...

So normally i'm not the type of person that does dares of this sort (as someone mentioned earlier they seem mainly a way of sorting through the idiots in your midst) but friends of mine did so at state for swimming.

It was fairly late at night, and i had food poisoning :(, so i didn't get to see everything but i did see the pictures and talk to the participants.

What i gathered was:

*Some people say it curdles in your stomach (thus causing you to vomit)and is impossible, however a diver friend of mine drank half a gallon and COULD not puke. (although he wanted to)

*No one was successful, my close friend Iassac [last namecensor] puked about 5 times while drinking the milk. (which means he didn't really drink it lol)

*do it outside, and with people who can help you if you become really sick (don't know why you would be sick, just a precaution)

*It is done for the purpose offun,for the veterans laugh at the newby swimmmers

*Will make you sick, but not as harmful (refering to someones post about chemistry) as cinammon.

*if you are an adventurer i suppose it could be a fun truth or dare thing, as it doesn't really hurt, but i would NEVER DO IT as i love milk and don't want to end my affection for it :P

hope this helps
