People have just been doing dumb things for reputation since forever. We had the cinnamon challenge back in our day.

yeah, the cinnamon challenge was dumb.. but it didnt involve mass destruction, psychotic behavor, or contaminating food\ in stores.

So its hardly comparable.

Also it wasnt Tiktok. Predates it, significantly.
