cinnamon will kill you

in case any of you were considering the consumption of a spoonful of cinnamon, i would strongly advice against it. even for a dare (unless the cash payoff is extremely good), it's not worth it. it's not that it's all that spicy. the candy industry has really blown the "heat" aspect of cinnamon out of proportion....the problem is that it's such a fine powder. the moment you lick it off the spoon, the powder coats your entire throat, not moving anywhere except maybe into your windpipe when you take a breath. this causes you to choke. you take a drink of water...that helps, but not that much. you cough for a while (i vomited up a little bit of it actually), and the coughing causes the majority of the powder to shoot up into your nasal passages. then for the next hour you sneeze out cinnamon-snot, and blow out large chunks of cinnamon out of your nose into the kleenex. that's a bizarre sight. i'm serious everybody - it took several hours to get that stuff out of my system, and i'm still raw from all the effort it took. i did find out what i wanted to find out about cinnamon, but i would have rather read the information on an online encyclopdia or something. you live and learn, though, right?
