stupid before tikTok!

Social media never ceases to amaze me from the fantastic to the bottom rung of stupidity. As we continue to hear about dangerous challenges being displayed, with the warning do not do this at home, I reflected that this is nothing new. The only difference between today and when I was a kid was we did not have cell phones to share our nonsense with the world.

I am pretty confident everyone will have a story to share about this topic. Jumping off the roof because you thought you could fly? Riding your bicycle all the way to school without ever touching your handlebars? Putting pennies on a railroad track so they got flattened by a train?

I did not jump off the roof, but I’ll lay claim to the other two along with this culinary challenge. My best friend and I used to suck on bouillon cubes to see which one of us gave up first. I was always the champion which is probably why I still love too much salt in my food!
