The FDA issued an update advising consumers that cooking chicken in NyQuil is dangerous and potentially harmful, referencing a video posted on TikTok.

The Food and Drug Administration has issued an update advising consumers that cooking chicken in NyQuil is dangerous and potentially harmful.references a video that a TikTok user posted at least a year ago that shows him frying two chicken breasts in the cold and flu medicine. In the video, which went viral but appears to have been taken down, the user flips the meat with a flat iron hair straightener.

The TikTok video does not use the word"challenge," and it is unclear whether many people ever attempted to cook chicken in NyQuil.The FDA said that even if a person does not eat the chicken, cooking it in the over-the-counter medicine could cause them to inhale high levels of the drug's vapors. TikTok and Procter & Gamble, the maker of NyQuil, did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Tuesday.

In its update, the FDA urged parents to keep over-the-counter drugs away from children and to discuss with them the dangers of participating in social media trends involving medication.

Good job.

Tik Tok is dangerous and allows stupid videos.

Cook it in Preparation H if you are looking to shrink down your portion size.

Is this real life? Where am I and how did I get here?

CIA potus Got to wonder if these 'Tik Tok trends' are being made up by foreign governments to harm Americans.

It’s takes the FDA to say don’t follow every recipe on tik tok.

I truly believe aliens came, saw us and dipped the f**k out. 💀😩

I feel like each day humanity gets one step closer to making that movie “Idiocracy” a reality.

Beyond the 'danger' in doing it WHY would you want Nyquil flavored chicken? I barely put up with the taste when I'm sick and have to take it, can't imagine cooking my dinner in it when I'm not!

The fact that people have to be told this is not a good sign for humanity. Another example showing how some humans are regressing instead of progressing as a species. Maybe they are missing a gene or two that the rest of have. Its called the logic gene. Guess not everyone got it

Shut down the internet now, please.

Can we just not do anything that is suggested on TikTok.

Reminder: The people cooking chicken with Nyquil are the same people who want to run your healthcare.

The FDA never had to issue this sort of advisories to us Boomers.

Your regular viewers needed to hear this! Omg NBC is saving it's viewers lives!

No. mames.

Who is the brainchild behind this recipe? Thank you for the warning…..I guess.

That’s enough Internet for today

Idiocracy is real.

'The TikTok video does not use the word 'challenge,' and it is unclear whether many people ever attempted to cook chicken in NyQuil.' Well now they will.

Who in their right mind came up with that one? What are they thinking?

I refuse to be MASKED but what the hell let me prepare chicken with NyQuil must people continue to be stuck on STUPID!

Wanna bet it was a MAGA who did that?

So…eating laundry detergent wasn’t insane enough?
