The Food and Drug Administration has issued a weary warning to anyone tempted to try a viral challenge on TikTok in which users cook chicken in NyQuil. The hashtag “#sleepychicken” has blown up on the platform as people filmed themselves monstrously using the cold medication for cooking chicken, prompting a safety warning to appear when people search for the trend.

“The challenge sounds silly and unappetizing—and it is,” the FDA said in a statement responding to the challenge, which it called a “recipe for danger.” “But it could also be very unsafe,” the statement continues. “Boiling a medication can make it much more concentrated and change its properties in other ways. Even if you don’t eat the chicken, inhaling the medication’s vapors while cooking could cause high levels of the drugs to enter your body. It could also hurt your lungs.”

  1. There is a simple answer to dangerous demonstrations on TikTok. The company must be held liable for bringing this to the public. In turn, the company might make liability transferable to the posters. It should be the responsibility of the media to circulate these warnings, not the FDA.

  2. As if the fda cares about your health and safety where it really matters. If they’d be able to make millions in the nyquil chicken, theyd sell it as a cure all
