Colonel Sanders must be spinning in his grave like a dynamo...
At first I couldn't believe this report wasn't a joke - but as I read and re-read it, I realized that yes, some people are indeed that stupid. I bet Colonel Sanders never even dreamed of something this daft!
The US Food and Drug Administration is warning against a social media challenge which involves people coating their poultry in NyQuil.
Called the “NyQuil Chicken Challenge,” users on social media are covering their meat in the over-the-counter medication, which is used to treat flu symptoms, colds and allergies.
Unsurprisingly, the FDA warned it could have very dangerous outcomes — not just if it’s ingested but from the cooking process.
“Boiling a medication can make it much more concentrated and change its properties in other ways,” the FDA explained in a warning, adding that even inhaling the medication’s vapors while cooking could cause high levels of the drugs to enter your body.

Friends, many of you are middle-aged or older, as I am. Tell me, please . . . were any of us so utterly, bone-headedly stupid as to do something like this as a teenage challenge? I've perpetrated more than my fair share of stupid things, but I honestly can't remember doing anything so flat-out insane as this.
Cooking chicken in medication??? The person who came up with that should be charged with an offense - and not a paltry poultry one, either.
