Singaporeans shocked over new TikTok Challenge of cooking chicken in cold medicine; netizen suggests “Act ‘Normal & Sensible’ Challenge” instead

In response to news of the new Tiktok trend in America of cooking chicken in cold medicine, Singaporeans are just not having it. Many have expressed their frustration over such trends… understandably so.

In recent news, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has raised concern over a new Tiktok trend. In this online “challenge” users marinate chicken breast in NyQuil, which is cold medicine. They then cook the chicken in a pan.

The FDA warned that even if the medicated chicken isn’t eaten, cooking it will release vapours that contain high levels of the drug.

Singaporeans are not staying silent about the matter. In response to this news, many have expressed their shock over how such a thing can even become a trend.

“So many people (children, teens, and adults) have already been killed by Tiktok challenges,” said one online user who also mentioned notorious challenges that have gone viral on the app in the past.

“From stupid blackout challenges to eating Tide Pods and opening car doors in the middle of a road.”

“This is probably on the same stupidity level as flat earth believers,” said another user. Many others called out the lack of common sense in such challenges. Others threw hits at American culture as well as the notoriety of its youth and their susceptibility to these senseless trends.

Another user brought another idea to the table, saying, “Let’s have a Tiktok Act Normal and Be Sensible challenge. Now that’s a real hard one.”
