Another day,Obscene Wife another viral challenge. Or, perhaps more accurately, another "viral" "challenge."

This time, it's the condom-snorting challenge, which is when someone with a YouTube account sucks a condom into their nostril until it emerges from their mouth.

I do not know what this is supposed to prove.

And because we live in a post-Tide Pod era, people are losing their minds about condom-snorting right now. Several local news stations, for example, have covered it like it's an epidemic -- as if millions of teenagers across the country headed to school today with condoms dangling from their noses.

"Remember whenever people did the simple stuff, like try to chug a gallon of milk or eat a spoonful of cinnamon?" said one agitated reporter in Charlotte, North Carolina. "That's hilarious, but putting condoms where they don't belong is disgusting."

Yes, putting condoms into your nose is bad. No, you should not do it. But as a phenomenon, it's not new. People -- a fair number of them, but not half the teen population -- have been attempting the challenge since at least 2007. In 2013, YouTuber Savannah Strong went viral with her version of the challenge. And if you look hard enough (I will not help you), you can find a few more video examples from the past few years, although many of them have been removed for violating YouTube's terms of service.

Still, the most infamous "condom challenge" incident happened in 2015, when rumors spread that a girl had died after her friends dropped a condom full of water on her head. Spoiler: the story was fake, published by a fake news website. And it wasn't even nostril-related.

So why are people freaking out about condom-snorting in April 2018? As The Daily Dot theorizes, this anxiety could stem from a San Antonio-based class for parents about the dangers of internet trends, which was covered by a local news station and subsequently picked up by other outlets.

Or perhaps one condom-snorting video (who knows which one) made a reappearance somewhere on our sordid Web, bringing the challenge back into the online conversation and inspiring a few new imitators. The internet has a funny way of bringing out the worst in itself.

Anyway, do not snort a condom. You could choke or do serious damage to your nasal cavity, and you'll probably throw up. Instead, stick to a nice challenge, like asking your beautiful dog to hold an egg in its mouth.
