![]() ![]() do NOT let her go /ZiQbFcJ4TM- tristan April 20, 2017 Its history as a meme and a YouTube trend dates back to as early as 2017, when Twitter user tweeted an image of a few NyQuil bottles next to greenish-coloured pieces of chicken with the joke caption, “If she makes you NyQuil chicken…. As new as this specific challenge might seem, it actually wasn’t invented on TikTok. ![]() The Tide Pod challenge probably comes to mind, followed by a swarm of newer harmful ones. The challenge is not the first nor the last dangerous (and even deadly) trend to appear online. Remember how teenagers were once robotripping on cough syrup in the pursuit of cheap highs? NyQuil chicken is basically what happens when they jump on culinary trends within the confines of their own homes. This in turn can make overdosing even more likely. In other words, you have no way of controlling how much medication is making it into your body. I bet blue chicken doesn’t sound so fun now, right?ĭoctor Aaron Hartman, a physician and assistant clinical professor of family medicine at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), told MIC, “When you cook cough medicine like NyQuil, you boil off the water and alcohol in it, leaving the chicken saturated with a super concentrated amount of drugs in the meat.”Īs if all of these weren’t enough, the trend presents even more risks for whoever in your friend group decides to be the cursed chef, as inhaling vapours of the syrup is essentially taking the syrup. Oh and also, too much of any of these can even lead to death. Too much acetaminophen can damage your liver and lead to liver failure while too much doxylamine succinate can result in dry mouth, dilated pupils, rhabdomyolysis, insomnia, night terrors, hallucinations, seizures, and death. Too much dextromethorphan, which is an opioid that’s commonly in cough suppressants, can result in “drowsiness, dizziness, seizures, nausea, vomiting, changes in blood pressure, constipation, breathing problems, blurry vision, twitching, palpitations, high fevers, hallucinations, brain damage, and even coma,” the publication listed. Yes, different cold and cough medications tend to have different ingredients, but they also always have common active ingredients such as dextromethorphan, acetaminophen, and antihistamines like doxylamine succinate. “The risks of an overdose depend on what specific ingredients are in the medicine,” Forbes reported when covering the trend. Not only will your food taste awfully bad, but boiling off the water in a medication could make it much more concentrated and thus raise the risk of an overdose. In case you weren’t sure by now, cooking anything in any kind of cough syrup is an extremely bad idea. ![]() Others can be seen doing something similar with whole chickens instead of just the breasts. Trying their hand at the ‘cooking’ trend, some users have shared their own version of the dish, switching Flo’s sizzling pan for a boiling pot. While the latter has been banned from TikTok since then, videos of the challenge can still easily be found by looking up ‘NyQuil chicken’ on the app’s search bar. Shortly after this first video was shared, the hashtags #Sleep圜hicken and #NyQuilChicken started picking up on the video-sharing platform. Looking at the rest of the creator’s content, one could assume that this concoction was shared with the only aim of going viral-and not to truly cure his wife of a cold. Nearing the end of the video, the narrator said, “What you are looking for is that blue colour.” Once done with his cooking, Flo poured the remaining medication from the pan back into the original bottle. ![]()
