Youths and bored adults from all walks of life have always had a knack for finding things that aren't supposed to be ingested and making a party of it. For some of you, this list will be a walk down memory lane, for others it'll remind you of some of the media's most obnoxious "fads to watch out for" lists. Either way, here's a bit of nostalgia mixed with some of the Internet's most absurd, juvenile nonsense. Don't try snorting any of this at home.

Sugar Rush
What was snorted: Smarties
The outcome: Nose maggots
Once upon a time, a nine-year-old child snorted crushed up Smarties in class and got suspended. Apparently it hops you up real nice, but if done excessively can result in nose maggots.
"Condom Challenge"
What was snorted: Condoms
The outcome: Zero
Around this time last year, a handful of YouTube videos surfaced in which daring youths snorted a condom up their nose and pulled it out of their mouth. YOLO.
Smacked on Plant Fertlizer
What was snorted: Drone
The outcome: You don't remember
This shit will get you BLACKED OUT. "Drone" was all the rage among the posh kids of London about five years ago. Essentially, drone (also known as "meow meow") is a synthetic stimulant drug marketed as plant food, but it's really just ecstasy with some meth in there for good measure.
Fun Dip Confessions
What was snorted: Fun Dip
The outcome: Blue snot
A kind young soul on a pill-enthusiast forum courageously shared the following: "i snorted fun dip through a straw. my snot was blue...sorry that was completely irrelevant. i just wanted to share." We are here for you, buddy.
Festive Snorting
What was snorted: Candy canes
The outcome: Male bonding
I don't know if it's the suburbs or just being a young man, but a few boys decided to get together and film a candy cane snorting session: How to Properly Snort a Candy Cane.
Adderall Instead of Cocaine
What was snorted: Adderall
The outcome: Isolation
Adderall has been growing in popularity as an alternative to cocaine. People snort it when they need to recharge. There's nothing better than going out on the town jolted on Adderall—sweat beads of anxiety surfacing on your upper lip—trying to be sociable, but actually blowing it because you're talking like an amped-up football coach and your friends just want to have a low-key night. Does anyone remember "Amphetamine Logic"? Oh, you don't? Well, god bless. Cat Marnell not dying in a pool of vomit is largely due to your indifference.
Like Meth But Saltier
What was snorted: Bath salts
The outcome: Cannibalism
You can't just snort any old bath salts. If you really want that nice meth buzz that all the kids are talking about, you have to do as the kids do and visit the Internet.
(Crystal) Light Up Your Nose Shaft
What was snorted: Crystal Light
The outcome: An unauthorized Ritalin prescription
Word on the middle school playground is that snorting aspartame (a low calorie sugar substitute found in Crystal Light and Kool-Aid) gets you launched sky high. The majority of reported users simply ate the sugary powder, however a select few have reported snorting it. Snorting aspartame is said to have similar effects to ADHD medication, getting all the baby fiends hopped up and jittery.
Kids Go Nuts For Nutmeg
What was snorted: Nutmeg
The outcome: Hallucinations
Nutmeg on its own is reported to cause euphoria, hallucinations, and nausea. Just don't mix nutmeg with Rohypnol. It has been known to cause fatalities. If you're going to snort your mother's favorite cookie-baking spice, keep it pure and simple.
Dramamine Trip
What was snorted: Dramamine
The outcome: A bad joke on Urban Dictionary
If you take more Dramamine than suggested, it'll mess you up slightly. That trip is mad weak. Some kids needed to "hit harder," so they discovered that if you rip ("snort") it, you'll get blazed faster and have intense visual and physical side-effects.
