Chubbeh Bunneh Challenge

As of recently my fourth hour Journalism class has taken up the habit of completing popular internet challenges. So far we have successfully completed the Cinnamon Challenge, which let me tell you hurt, as well as Hallway Swimming.

The most recent challenge we have pursued is what is well known as the Chubbeh Bunneh challenge AKA the Marshmallow challenge.

Basically what this challenge consists of is stuffing as many marshmallows as one person can into their mouth while still being able to say the words chubbeh bunneh. You may be sitting at your computer reading this with a scoff, thinking to yourself, that sounds like the easiest thing ever.

Well, let me tell you right now, it's freaking hard to get past three marshmallows at the most. You cheeks get so puffed up with the sugary ball of fluff, and your throat closes up from how sweet each marshmallow is, up to the point where you feel like your are going to puke.

We ended up having at least seven people try the actual challenge itself, and the highest score of marshmallows shoved into ones gob was around six, I believe.

Each person who tried the challenge could not stop laughing as soon as they popped the first marshmallow in their mouth. Of course, there was also a classmate who wouldn't stop making puking noises to deal with, which made it all the more difficult to proceed with the challenge.

I thought the challenge was going to be a lot simpler than it actually was, but in reality it got difficult after I got two marshmallows stuffed up in my cheeks.

This challenge by far was my favorite because it didn't hurt my throat and make me cough and choke, plus it was fun to try as well as to watch.

Eventually we ran out of big marshmallows - which we had to beg for from the foods class - and decided to try our own little challenge which we called mini chubs.

My good friend, Morgan, and I raced to see who could get the most mini marshmallows in our mouth without chewing or swallowing them. In the end I won and Morgan shuffled off to the trash can to spit out a giant glob of marshmallows into the trash.

When we finished racing each other, we needed to clean out the bag of marshmallows so, Morgan decided to dump the whole bag into his mouth and on his face.

I recommend this challenge, it's a fun one.

Cinnamon Challenge


Yesterday I tried something that no normal human being - in their right mind - should ever try...EVER!

During my Journalism class at fourth hour I acquired the necessary equipment and sadly, willing, volunteers who had no qualms about participating in none other than the dreaded cinnamon challenge.

I know some of you must be thinking that the cinnamon challenge is an old fab that has lived out its short time fame and should stop popping up randomly around the internet. Well, my words to you are only this; it was fun and I wanted to try it, so leave me be!

We set up outside in the school courtyard around a little red plastic table, with a group of cups filled with water, some plastic spoons, and three containers of cinnamon. There were probably around fifteen - twenty volunteers to try the challenger, including the my Journalism teach, Julie Hooker, and Vice Principle Mr. Macintosh.

Each volunteer shoved a spoonful of cinnamon into their mouth and tried to eat and swallow it as fast as they could, and surprisingly we had a number of them exceed at this, supposedly, impossible challenge.

Now, when I tried my own spoonful of cinnamon, I managed to keep my cool for, oh I don’t know, ten seconds? Then I was coughing up the vile substance and running off towards the grass to scrape my tongue, and my knees (yes I fell over running, hush).
This was one of the worst things that I have ever tried, and I don’t think I will ever be able to enjoy cinnamon the same way ever again. In my own recommendation, don’t ever try this, it’s not worth it!

Now, I’m going to go and try to get the taste of cinnamon out of my mouth......

Just a Daily Rant.

Today was a semi-awful day so my Shoulders to Complain On you shall read this (only if you want of course) while I senselessly complain about my day.

To start off, I didn't end up going to bed until around two or three A.M., which lemme tell ya, is not a good thing to do on a school night, especially when it's on a day where you actually have to focus and pay attention. I was up all night playing Black Ops 2 with a few of my friends, and you know what they say, time flies when you're having fun.

Then when I woke up I had crazy bed head which even the most furious of brushings couldn't cure. I brushed and brushed, but my hair refused to settle or cooperate with me whatsoever.

 I stepped outside and it was freezing cold and a bleak grey, which actually cheered me up a bit when I felt the crisp touch of the rain, then I remembered that I had to sit inside a brick building all day and listen to lecture after lecture; complete assignment after assignment.

....Makes my bad mood worse.

I ended up getting into a few arguments at lunch over pointless topics that any other day would never have sparked an opinion in me.

Then, in my film class, after a number of footage had been gathered for a Lonely Island music video, my SD card decided that it was going to refuse to work with Imovie. This means that next time I have my film class I will have to re-film every single scene that was on that SD card with hardly any time.

Today was not a good day for me....
