38. Goldfish swallowing took colleges by storm
LIFE
The original version of social media and YouTube challenges, this extraordinary moment in history left some parents confused. What started as a way to get votes during a class president election turned into a college phenomenon. Spreading nearly as fast the Tide Pod challenge on YouTube, the goldfish swallowing became a trend. The key to completing the challenge successfully was to swallow the goldfish whole. Some sources report that students added salt or chased the goldfish with a drink of their choice.
