Title: Cinnamon Challenge
Post by: cas on June 13, 2009, 08:43:16 AM
Alright here is the deal. You fill a tablespoon of ground cinnamon and you eat and swallow it. Doesn't sound too bad does it. Couldn't be more wrong.

Eating a tablespoon of any dry powder sucks ass.  Sticks to your mouth and you don't dare inhale.

The stuff you buy at the local Price Chopper isn't actually cinnamon.  True cinnamon is much more expensive.

A different, but related, plant.

Quote
The name cinnamon is correctly used to refer to Ceylon cinnamon, also known as "true cinnamon" (from the botanical name C. zeylanicum). However, the related species, Cassia (Cinnamomum aromaticum), Saigon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum loureiroi), and Cinnamomum burmannii are sometimes sold labeled as cinnamon, sometimes distinguished from true cinnamon as "Chinese cinnamon", "Vietnamese cinnamon", or "Indonesian cinnamon"; many websites, for example, describe their "cinnamon" as being cassia[3]. Ceylon cinnamon, using only the thin inner bark, has a finer, less dense, and more crumbly texture, and is considered to be less strong than cassia. Cassia has a much stronger (somewhat harsher) flavour than cinnamon, is generally a medium to light reddish brown, hard and woody in texture, and thicker (2–3 mm thick), as all of the layers of bark are used.[16]

Due to the presence of a moderately toxic component called coumarin, European health agencies have recently warned against consuming large amounts of cassia.[17] This is contained in much lower dosages in Cinnamomum burmannii due to its low essential oil content. Coumarin is known to cause liver and kidney damage in high concentrations. True Ceylon cinnamon has negligible amounts of coumarin.

The two barks, when whole, are easily distinguished, and their microscopic characteristics are also quite distinct. Cinnamon sticks (or quills) have many thin layers and can easily be made into powder using a coffee or spice grinder, whereas cassia sticks are much harder. Indonesian cassia (Cinnamomum burmannii) is often sold in neat quills made up of one thick layer, capable of damaging a spice or coffee grinder. Saigon cassia (Cinnamomum loureiroi) and Chinese cassia (Cinnamomum aromaticum) are always sold as broken pieces of thick bark, as the bark is not supple enough to be rolled into quills. It is a bit harder to tell powdered cinnamon from powdered cassia. When powdered bark is treated with tincture of iodine (a test for starch), little effect is visible in the case of pure cinnamon of good quality, but when cassia is present, a deep-blue tint is produced, the intensity of the coloration depending on the proportion of cassia.[citation needed]

Cinnamon is also sometimes confused with Malabathrum (Cinnamomum tamala) and Saigon cinnamon (Cinnamomum loureiroi).

After mastering the cinnamon challenge, try moving on to other spices such as dry mustard powder.

Very. The powder cakes to the inside of your mouth and builds up right where you try to swallow it, forcing you to spit it out. Me and a bunch of friends tried it, one dude shot it through his nose and he was blowing cinnamon out of his nose for like a day.

Yep. It's actually 6 in a minute or 8 in two minutes.

First try:  just missed.  Probably half a saltine left in my mouth.  Tried taking two at a time.  Started with dry mouth.

Second try:  Did it while drinking water.  32 seconds.

A terrible food idea is eating a lemon wedge with chili powder sprinkled over the top. No one will eat that. Bisquick is good because it will cake up in the mouth.

Oh yeah. The saltine one is actually possible.

If you know what you're doing you can do 7-8 saltines in a minute. One of those professional speed eaters took down 10, and he's like one of the top 5 on the circuit I guess. I haven't done it myself, but I've done some reading on it.

Saw a kid eat a can of copenhagen with a spoon in about 10 minutes.  He turned completely green and barfed his guts out in about 10 minutes.  I don't think I've ever seen anyone that green.  Really weird.  He was kinda retarded. I feel bad now for telling him he'd get a million dollars if he didn't throw up.

My brother did a whole bottle of Aunt Jemima, puked, said he could feel the cold congelaed clumps of syrup coming back up mixed in with the body temperature puke.
