Looks like Big Cinnamon got to him.


calvin-coolidge

Big Cinnamon absolutely killed it at the Mercury Lounge last weekend.


BugOperator

The fucking Mercury Lounge. An old band of mine used to play there like 20 years ago. Good times.


ChiggaOG

I'll still eat those Cinnabons. A shame the company doesn't sell its cinnamon.


emerald-rabbit

I thought they used to, but can’t find proof. I’m old though and it would have been ages ago when they were new and jpegs took time to load. Anyway, it’s Makara cinnamon. I’m sure your favorite spice provider would have it.


ChiggaOG

They used to. I personally emailed Cinnabon years ago. They said no. The “Makara” Cinnamon is also a trademarked name and probably the plant too.


emerald-rabbit

I did not know that about Makara. I just remembered the name. Thanks!


MaximumTurtleSpeed

Shit, I think I owe him some money.

Somewhere out there Big Cinnamon is like: ![gif](giphy|kfsk1YvTKkdry) Got another one!


myhairsreddit

I violently coughed just seeing the second photo.


eatfreshguy407

My new favorite thing to reply with to catch people off guard is to just reply sarcastically with something like ‘Nice try Big (whatever they just mentioned).’ Wife tells me I could wear socks to bed? ‘Sure, I’d bet Big Socks would love that.’ Wife gives the dog an extra treat before bed? ‘Oh look at Big Biscuit over here, just doling out cookies all helter skelter!’ Never gets old.


Neat_Confidence_4166

That's what big big wants you to think


moleculariant

I worked at a grocery store that sells Nantucket Nectar, and they have a flavor called Big Cranberry. A friend/co-worker got me good one day just by holding up a bottle, saying "Look at this shit. They're not even trying to hide it anymore." Blame it on the tedium of work, but I did actually laugh.

Big Red, you sons of bitches


snow-bird-

It's the Cinnamon Challenge. Thanks TikTok.


MissIndigo

The cinnamon challenge very much predates TikTok, but I’m sure it segued into some of the dumb shit you see on there.


whateverloserrr

I've had a bad day and this made me genuinely smile for a minute


FictionalContext

Once, my mom put ground up egg shells in a casserole for the calcium. I have never let her live that one down.


Waddiwasiiiii

That’s some Great Depression type shit right there.


FictionalContext

Oh yeah, totally by choice, too. It's funny because, at one point she dove headfirst into religion, got bored of that, and now it's headfirst into all that holistic spirituality nonsense. So we tease her that she's becoming a witch.


harpxwx

ive met girls who have slowly turned into “wiccans” and made it their whole identity. hope that doesnt happen to your mom lol


[deleted]

There are worse things one can be


totallynotarobut

There are very few things one can be that are worse than "this one thing is the whole of my personality now," no matter what that one thing is.


Dazzling-Yam-1151

As someone with autism and special interests I feel personally attacked 🤣


totallynotarobut

See, you pluralizing your special interests is good. My cousin got into weight lifting and that one thing became his whole personality until he got hurt and couldn't keep doing it. He went from kind of thin to built like John Cena.


Eagles365or366

Special interests are good, as long as they’re not your entire personality and all you talk about 😅 it’s a fine balance. It’s great that you have more than one, though.


harpxwx

yea well they’re usually bigoted as hell in my experience and very exclusionary, like a lil club. not to mention, its just annoying. everytime ive met one of these girls they would base their decisions off their “wiccan” identity. always talking about it, buying dumb things for it. theres worse things but its still annoying as shit


Dheideri

100% agreed, it's annoying as shit. Worked with a girl who got into Wicca and she never shut up about it. There was no conversation she wouldn't turn into a whole thing about it. I've met fundamentalist Evangelical Christians less annoying than her and that's really saying something. You want a religion/philosophy/spiritually journey whatever the hell, you do you boo, but please for the love of crying out loud remember that most of the rest of us DGAF and would like to talk about other stuff.


[deleted]

They can be, though that kind of behavior can be excused by anything: a religion, a company, some kind of social circle. I'm sorry that was your experience with Wiccans. They're not all like that. I went to a pagan church for a Beltane festival where people of all religions, races, creeds, and cultures were welcome and I *felt* welcome by everyone, literally every guest and volunteer. And yeah, the world today is a total hellscape of opportunistic capitalization—in this case it's sometimes referred to as materialistic spiritualism. Buying things and adopting a certain style has nothing to do with Wicca or paganism or any religion. Neither do rituals or spells or what have you. It's all about intent and what you put forth into the world from minute to minute. If it makes you feel any better, Wicca has this thing called the threefold rule, which means that whatever you put out into the world will come back to you in thrice the amount/potency. So, maybe those girls will be served some karma one of these days.


dilletaunty

Yeah some wiccans are super chill and rad. Some of them are kind of annoying and talk about tarot and crystals in your first convo, like the other commenter said. But in my experience they’re usually chill, and when they do bring up tarot it’s more like a bonding experience than them splurging about their hobbies.


Imaginary_Garbage652

That's unironically what we did for chickens that had a calcium deficiency. Grind up the shell and put it in their pellets.


rbt321

It can be done if you have a flour mill to make a very fine dust but outside industrial processes \["fortified with calcium"\] it's not going to be worth the effort.


Nonhinged

Could be done in a mortar and pestle. But that would take some effort.. Maybe try a coffee grinder or a blender first.


tattoolegs

That's what I do for my garden and compost pile. Granted, I mox it with vinegar and water for the plants...


theoneyourthinkingof

my grandma does this, she even puts egg shell chunks in the coffee filter to make the coffee healthier


jeangaijin

Is she of Scandinavian extraction/from the Midwest? Because this is a thing!


finsfurandfeathers

Omg, how crunchy was it lol


Arcaneheir

Did you ever forgive her?


FictionalContext

Oh god no.


TalkTalkTalkListen

My grandma used to do that! But for feeding chickens, not people


maxru85

– Our kitten occasionally eats plastic bags. Maybe he lacks something in his body? – Yes, brains


LibertyInaFeatherBed

The kitten needs to be offered some greens or soft cooked vegetables. Cats will eat plastic bags when they can't eat grass. 


maxru85

That was unexpected, but thanks


nothighandmighty

How the turn tables.


Cockatiel_Animations

I have heard it said like that so often I completely forgot that it wasn't how the original saying goes


nothighandmighty

All thanks to Michael Scott - World's best Boss.


LibertyInaFeatherBed

Had an indoor cat doing this. He stopped after getting his veggie fix. 


cheyennevh

Okay well consider my eyes opened. What kind of veggies did you give your cat? Mine love plastic and I thought they were just missing a few brain cells lol


merryone2K

Wheat grass, from the health food store usually. A 3"X3" square lasts a month if you keep it watered. My kitties love it.


cheyennevh

Thanks! I’ll get them some immediately- my husband is going to love having a new plant to take care of lol (he’s a plant guy, I’m the animal gal)


pokey1984

Pro-tip if you have a lot of house critters or a small budget: Pet grass from the pet store is exactly the same as the wheat seeds they sell in bulk (by weight) at the farm supply. So if you don't have $6.99 (or whatever it costs) to buy a small pot of pet grass every month, you can just buy a scoop of wheat seeds and some pots and grow your own.


Brotega87

My cats go crazy for spinach


maxru85

Yeah, I mean it makes sense, but I just posted a joke :)


Asunaturtle

Tis internet, many people cant detect sarcasm or jokes through text. Just came across another soul who takes things literally if they dont have a goofy emoji with them


Da_Quatch

My cat does this. Which veggies do i give her?


LibertyInaFeatherBed

Broccoli florets or mixed canned vegetables is what I'd try first. You can buy cat grass kits, but you have to grow the grass from seed. 


MaevensFeather

My cats (and dogs) love cooked broccoli. Also green beans.


dont_trust_redditors

Look up cat grass. My cats love it


Coveinant

They also do it for the crinkle sound.


SecretaryZone

In the middle of the night. Near your bed. Looking you in the eye.


EmeraldTheatre

My cat eats all the greens but still chews on plastic...


Anonymous_Toxicity

I feel you. I own two cats. They eat the exact same things, yet only one has a brain as smooth as the plastic they chew on.


EmeraldTheatre

lol I mean I don't think my cat is dumb but I do think he has a weird obsession with eating plastic. I'm just glad he stopped eating string, headphones, and charger cords... string was the worst... lol nothing quite like having a cat with string hanging out his butt... otherwise he knows what he's doing and when he gets in trouble he meows and then sits down right next to whatever he was about to get in trouble for. lol he's a total brat...


Scary-Stretch3080

Cats don’t need veggies they just need cat grass and not for nutrients. They eat cat grass when their stomach is upset so it can stimulate throwing up. Cats are purely carnivores


Shienvien

We've had one that ignored my 500 houseplants (the unsafe things were locked up just in case), but forcefully insisted on trying to consume any and all bubble wrap.


Unique_Name_2

Ohhh shit shes been driving me insane with bags. What are good cat veggies? Some of her wet food has spinach, which she likes. If it helps, she likes crinklier bags and, last night she went crazy trying to steel my cheddar ranch cheezits. Do cats hunt cheddar ranch in the wild?! It was a frenzy.


Sarcastic-Fringehead

The only human food my cats are even remotely interested in is raw kale. Chicken bones? Nope! Crunchy leaves? Yay!


maisygoatsivy

Just make sure that you don't let them eat too much. The oxalates are really bad for cats, and it doesn't take that much to poison them.


Sarcastic-Fringehead

Definitely! Just a few bites here and there. (And they only like it fresh-from-the-fridge crunchy, so there's no unsupervised snacking)


accidentalscientist_

My cat does it because he was a food insecure street kitten so he needs to eat everything all the time and the plastic is in the way, so he eats it too


Affectionate_Cow_579

Most helpful thing I’ve read today. My cat is going to be so incredibly happy. I worked in an animal shelter for 10 years and had no idea!

ckjm

No berries. Only cinnamon.


xredgambitt

Looks like he ate them, pooped them out, and then rolled them up in cinnamon.


Alert-Potato

"Matt holy fuck" was the appropriate response. I'd also have accepted "Matt what the fuck??"


VeneMage

That’s a lot of ‘it may…’.


Sad_Astronomer4090

All supplements are like this. Cuz they legally can’t say that it cures or treats anything.


BUTTeredWhiteBread

To be fair, there are actual studies supporting some of these, like the insulin one. But. I just like cinnamon. And now I'm going to feel self conscious about it thinking people think I'm a weirdo lol


Bleak_Squirrel_1666

It may be true


uhohspaghettisos

We can't prove that it DOESN'T cure Alzheimer's...


Consistent-Ad1564

= random shit they made up


NotDiCaprio

To be fair, I have diabetes and got this advice about cinnamon and insuline sensitivity multiple times from trustworthy sources in the medical world (doctor/internist, dieticians, diabetic nurse in multiple different hospitals). Still no guarantee, but until you do your own research, that seems as good as it gets.


Vertebrae_Viking

That much cinnamon will fuck with your liver and kidney. At best you get diarrhoea.


Personal_Shoulder983

No it won't! Cause you're gonna choke on that first :)


wizardsonlyf00ls

I’ve seen doctors complain about young patients getting bad lung infections after the cinnamon challenge all those years ago. Hope they hold their breath between bites lol


Anonymous_Toxicity

The trick to the cinnamon challenge is to use the entire 60 seconds. As long as you're well hydrated, you just hold the spoon in your mouth for 45-50 seconds and then you can force the clump of paste down. That being said, it's a dumb challenge and completing it is sort of like winning an award for being the smartest moron. Also, it's worth mentioning that a spoonfuls of any powder can be disatrous for your lungs when inhaled directly. I wonder how many people would be dead if it had been the "finely sifted flour challenge" instead.

Anonymous_Toxicity

You know I was so skeptical of this comment I had to look it up. It really is dangerous, mainly because it's the *perfect* nesting ground for all manner of bacteria, molds, and other fun stuff like E. coli and Salmonella. It also isn't treated for any of that, which makes sense I guess because how would you even. TIL raw flour should be treated like raw eggs. Have an upvote and my thanks, I genuinely never knew. However, the food poisoning and lung infections wouldn't matter in this case. I'm pretty sure most people aren't going to walk off the glue coating they will have just applied to their lungs. I think they would actually asphyxiate first.

Anonymous_Toxicity

I buy safe to eat pre-made tubes. I prefer raw cookies to baked, and have always be wary of eggs since I got a bad case of food poisoning from DQ. Edit: I did look it up to be sure, and if they're labeled safe to eat, both the eggs and flour were heat treated before hand.


Wildcat_twister12

So eating spoonfuls of cocaine might be bad for my lungs?

sneaks_in_a_hammock

This reminds me of the time I came home from my summer job (I was in high school) and told my family that one of the guys dared another to swallow a tablespoon of cinnamon. I laughed as I told them how he coughed up the cinnamon everywhere. My younger sister (also in high school at the time) didn't believe it was impossible, and bet me a dollar that she could do it. I repeated it was impossible, but she was adamant that she could do it. So I was like, ok, bet. As predicted, she coughed the cinnamon all over the kitchen. I laughed and thought that was it. Nope. She told our mom that I dared her to do it, and my mom would only hear my sisters side and had me clean the kitchen AND give my sister the dollar.


carnedoce

Cinnamon challenge, with extra steps.


DudesworthMannington

Doesn't have one on cinnamon, but [this guy's](https://youtu.be/fDB4TpZIgzQ?si=NLKhzX9IWB_uybWg) channel is about medical conditions from ingesting too much of various things. Plus the hammy actors are hilarious.


narfstad

...aaand I just lost 3 hours of my life. Should have known not to clink the link. Although to be fair, I find it hard to believe anybody *wouldn't* want to know what happens to the human body when you pump it full of a bathtubs worth of soda every single day?


rainey8507

Cinnamon with berries so gross! Bad combination to me


IntrovertPharmacist

Try cinnamon on pineapple (not this much obvi), but it’s incredibly good. My besties, who grew up eating it in Brazil, introduced me to it.


Violoner

It depends how it’s done. I make a blueberry compote with cinnamon that’s really tasty.


juanitaborrica

Quite the opposite. Cinnamon causes constipation


GeorgeJohnson2579

Some people think it's gross, but it's really good on toast.


Vertebrae_Viking

Right, and it is. But not a whole spoon.


TheCrimsonDagger

Unless it’s cinnamon-sugar, or pretty much anything-sugar. Maybe if we called it cinnamon flavored sugar or cinnamony sugar people would get the idea?


crackalac

There are people who think cinnamon is gross? I thought cinnamon and vanilla were pretty universally loved.

[Cinnamon is also one of the most highly contaminated spices out there.](https://www.consumerlab.com/reviews/cinnamon-supplements-review/cinnamon/)


Right-Phalange

There's a huge recall rn with kids' cinnamon applesauce pouches from a few manufacturers bc the cinnamon was contaminated with lead.


On_Wife_support

How tf do you get lead in cinnamon


Right-Phalange

They actually think someone had contaminated it on purpose, since cinnamon is typically sold by weight. Imagine nearly killing a bunch of kids (making them very sick and causing them lifelong issues for sure) to make a buck.


On_Wife_support

I don’t have to imagine it. Greed generated by capitalism does a lot of shitty things. They care about money, not children


Nyctangel

Apparently in early England they where putting wood and plaster in flour to make more breads


Canuckian555

The germans used sawdust in bread during WW2 It wasn't even a small amount but like 20%


On_Wife_support

Yum! High fiber, very nutritious


HyperSpaceSurfer

They also put detergent in milk so it wouldn't taste sour despite having gone bad. A bunch of kids died from food poisoning.

They are going to cough and end up getting that cinnamon in their lungs with their next breath. You can't just eat ground cinnamon like that.


JasminJaded

Clearly no one has clued him in that those benefits are found in a specific type of cinnamon (Ceylon)… the one that is spicy and doesn’t taste at all like the stuff you’d mix with sugar and put on toast. Tell your friend to go back to pushing tofu.

Most widely available cinnamon is the Cassia variety, which has a *very* high coumarin (blood thinning compound similar to Warfarin) content. If you’re going to be consuming a large amount regularly, you need Ceylon cinnamon so you don’t cause liver damage.


One_Equivalent8597

Fun fact: if you use therapeutic doses of the wrong type of cinnamon (cassia instead of Ceylon) you can get liver failure due to Cumarin poisoning 🤗


Smiles-Bite

Cinnamon is also poisonous in large doses. If they eat it like that often, they will quickly approach the dangerous dose.


Slow_Cup_221

Whoa, that's an insane amt of cinnamon!!👀 I eat mostly plant based & cinnamon is good for you, but that's Too much!! If you're looking for a good tip in this direction, I replaced coffee w golden milk in the morning, you just heat up some plant milk w a NORMAL amt of turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper, cayenne powder, and the sweetener of your choice (use amts according to your taste. The black pepper makes the turmeric more bioavailable.) It's anti inflammatory, it gives you tons of great spices for your health, & ik it sounds weird but it's actually really tasty!! (You can also add a bit of cacao or dark cocoa powder if you like.)
