    I can't believe I need to say this but DON'T EAT chicken cooked in NyQuil! Like Tide Pods and questionable Pink Sauce, there are things that are just not meant to be ingested. Today I'm going to explain why the NyQuil chicken challenge is dangerous and why we need to stop trying viral food hacks that we KNOW are bad for us just for the views. Safety first and let's dive in!

    As a teenager who was mainly raised by my grandma who watches the news 24/7 and barely has idea of what the internet is, I can't even describe how many of this fake/exaggerated stories the tv reports on have gotten me in trouble for doing absolutely nothing other than watching some youtubers that have nothing to do with those reports/"challenges". The actual fear it gave my grandma for my safety was tremendous every single time. And, of course, is never easy to explain to people that get their news from the tv that the news actually do lie to get people to watch it, is insane.

      +1 to the OP. Matpat is doing what the news should have done. I'd go into more detail (already tried to), from an epidemiology and information systems design standpoint... but youtube shadowblocked the comment. Literally can't even talk about the underlying causes and mechanisms of problems like this here. In both cases though, the chicken and the blocked comment, the issue is that our information systems reward counterproductive things while punishing beneficial things.

Secondly, the blackout challenge wich based on the name itself screams danger. The challenge had people choking themselfs till you know they blackout and in some cases this challenge had been fatal for some. Lastly , the hot boiling water challenge had teens pouring hot boiling water on their sleeping friends. That can cause second or even third degree burns that can have an effect on your body for a long time.) And did the news ever cover that NO.

    See, there was one class in college I took that centered around the news and how we should view them. In short, I think it was one of the best classes I’ve taken simply because we spent 10-12 weeks looking at news sources and stories on our own, and just actually reading and analyzing them. It was all about being aware of what exactly the news was saying, as well as checking their sources and the context that either the stories or sources emerged from.
    This video reminded me exactly why that class was important, and why it’s critical to look at the sources and context of EVERY news story.

      Let's be fair, here, though. The traditional media that MatPat talked about and showed in his video was entirely comedy pieces and Good Morning America daytime stuff. This wasn't real news discussing real events in detail, it was entirely entertainment stuff using "current events people are talking about". MatPat probably should've pointed out the difference in the video. Heck, I've seen some of those shows outright tell people not to use them as their main source of news, as they're meant for entertainment. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending this kind of stuff, but it is important to note that these shows aren't held to the same journalistic standard as real reporting, and we shouldn't lump the two together.

    This is literally the first I've ever heard of Nyquil chicken. This whole thing definitely reminds me of the Tide Pod situation, if was just a meme until the news blew it up. That was when people started getting hurt, I wouldn't be surprised if we start hearing stories of people actually trying it now.

    9:20 this reminds me when I was so allergic I took three different allergy pills, and then I felt super Duper high! Don’t do it. It was fun at first. Until I got so out of it, that I fell and hit my head on the floor and had a concussion. 😭 the thing is, is at that time I had my arms in my shirt because I’m a weirdo and so I couldn’t catch myself. And fell hard flat on my face.
