Most people are trying to stop themselves from throwing up whilst riding on rollercoasters, but one YouTuber felt the complete opposite, and decided he was a little peckish.
Allen Ferrell, a YouTuber who isn’t afraid to take on ‘challenges’ in life headed over to Cedar Point, Ohio, and decided to smuggle a box share box of 10 chicken nuggets onto the Millennium Force rollercoaster.
It wasn’t a small feat, as Allen successfully smuggled the box onto a 30 foot ride, although the outcome proved extremely unsuccessful, as he’s now been blacklisted from entering any of the Six Flags parks for violating the parks safety rules.
In the viral video, which came at a request by one of his followers, Allen could be seen hiding the sharebox in his pants, while telling an employee: “If anyone asks, I do not have chicken nuggets in my underwear.”
He can then be seen eating the nuggets on the rollercoaster, with someone next to him even holding out a dip for him to use. At the end of the video, he revealed he had completed seven of the ten chicken snacks on the ride, which reaches speeds of 93 miles per hour.
Due to the speed, it wasn’t a neat eat for Allen, who could be seen with sauce all over his face – hopefully no one behind the TikToker got splashed with dip!
Despite seeing it as an accomplishment, the video has now resulted in Allen getting banned from all Six Flags theme parks, as Cedar Point told WKYC-TV: “This guest has been banned from all Six Flags parks for life. Safety is a cornerstone of our business and we have zero tolerance for inappropriate and unsafe behavior. Our ride safety policy strictly prohibits all loose articles on rides, including food which can become a choking hazard.”
Speaking to FOX 8, the social media star, who has a following of four million on TikTok and YouTube said he ‘understood the park’s perspective’.

“They just don’t want other people getting hurt on the ride. But me, personally, it was a really fun challenge,” he said.
Speaking to UNILAD Allen said that he’s ‘committed to completing the challenges his fans give him’.
At the time of writing, Allen’s Cedar Point TikTok video has almost 200k views.

People shocked after finding out how much money is made from one ‘fireplace’ video claiming YouTuber is ‘set for life’
The fireplace videos are becoming increasingly popular
A fireplace always makes a room instantly more cosy, which is why those of us without one might be tempted to use one of YouTube’s fireplaces videos instead.
If you haven’t yet seen one, the popular videos are essentially super long clips of a roaring fireplace, that can be seen crackling away on the TV screen.
Many people choose to put them on to bring extra cosy vibes to their living rooms and bedrooms, especially over the cold winter months.
But have you ever wondered who creates these videos? And how much they are actually earning from them?

There’s plenty of fireplace videos to choose from, but one social media user has looked into the financial data of one video in particular, by Fireplace 10 Hours on YouTube.
The user, @Jeremybtc, shared a photo of the channel and its estimated earnings, captioning the X post: “Bro is set for life.”
In the estimated earnings graph, the views of the video can be seen steadily rising from when it was first made back in 2016.
The total estimated earnings came in at a whopping $1.248 million.
And people were left in shock that just one video could earn that kind of cash, especially a video of just a fireplace.
One person wrote: “1M+ from one single vid is insane.”
While another said: “It’s crazy how things like this can make you generational wealth.”
And a third added: “Bro posted once and retired.”
While a fourth said: “Crazy how the most random thing can go viral and make you rich.”

There are many way to make money via YouTube, but many creators do so via ad revenue.
YouTube explain that creators can ‘earn ad revenue from display, overlay and video ads that run on your channel’.
Meanwhile, there’s also the option to earn a portion of a subscriber’s fee when they watch the content.
YouTube add: “Advertising is the most common way for Creators to earn money on YouTube. Advertising revenue is generated when people watch ads that are running on videos. This revenue from ads is shared between YouTube and the creator – thus empowering Creators to directly profit from their work.
“Creators must first be eligible for the YouTube Partner Programme (YPP) in order to earn money from advertising on their videos and live streams. In keeping with our commitment to responsibility, we view monetisation as a privilege and reward only trusted Creators.”Featured Image Credit: YouTube/Fireplace10hours
Officials issue warning to parents after teen attempting ‘fire-breathing’ challenge faces life-altering injuries
Fire Chiefs say the girl is ‘lucky to be alive’ following the incident
Parents have been warned to keep an eye on their children after a 14-year-old girl was hospitalized attempting a ‘fire-breathing’ social media challenge.
The teenager was rushed to hospital with ‘life-altering injuries’ after she drank rubbing alcohol in her apartment complex in Pitcairn, Pittsburgh, Wilmerding Fire Marshal Al Hussey said.
Also known as isopropyl alcohol, the colorless, flammable solvent is used for cleaning electronics and disinfecting surfaces and wounds.
She appeared to be emulating a social media trend in which people ‘breathe fire.’
However the attempt backfired and the teen sustained severe burns across eight percent of her body, including her face, neck and chest, WTAE reports.
She is now being treated for her injuries while intubated at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, the New York Post adds.

Pitcairn Fire Chief Tommy Dick said the girl is ‘lucky to be alive’ as the flames could’ve ‘easily gone inside their digestive track, and she could have died.’
“We are not meant to breathe fire as human beings,” Hussey added. “First and foremost, you can lose your life. Second, you can have life-altering injuries to your appearance.
“Third, you could injure others in a building where you’re in, or a room, or the home.”
“It’s not a very smart thing for anybody to do, let alone children,” Dick agreed. “It’s supposed to be for cleaning off wounds and cuts and stuff, not ingesting and trying to blow fire.”
He went on to urge young people not to copy social media challenges just because they’ve seen them online.

Dick also cautioned parents to educate their children on fire safety and ‘be active in their lives.’
Hussey added that parents should keep an eye on their household chemicals, explaining: “If they’re doing their hair with chemicals, if they’re taking isopropyl alcohol in the room, or any type of fingernail polish remover. Obviously, monitor your lighters and your matches and educate your children.”
Reports of children injuring themselves or dying from apparent social media trends appear to be on the rise.
A nine-year-old boy from Illinois suffered facial burns after microwaving a Needoh Nice Cube, a popular sensory fidget toy, it was reported earlier this month.
Caleb Chabolla was taken to the emergency room to have the material removed and his injuries treated.
He suffered burns to his face, hands and ears.
Caleb said that he had been following a TikTok trend that a friend had told him about.

In the UK, a 13-year-old girl sadly died after she was believed to have inhaled ‘at least one can’ of deodorant in another internet trend called chroming.
Tiegan Jarman was found unresponsive in her bedroom at her home in Leicestershire.
Her father, Paul Jarman, said: “She was the most loving, daring girl ever. She was warm, she was funny, she was quirky. She had a great laugh – and she made me laugh.
“My life was twisted upside down when she died, and I have to keep strong and carry on. She used to always call me Pookie. It’s just the funny little stuff.”
Her family are hoping to spread awareness of the dangers of social media and the various trends that can put young people’s lives at risk.Featured Image Credit: Mcech/Getty Images

YouTuber breaks down exactly how much money he made from a video on his 200 million view platform
YouTuber Garron has provided a breakdown of his earnings
A popular YouTuber has revealed how much money he makes on his platform, which has racked up 200 million views in total.
Garron, who is a content creator from Ireland, explained how he had been watching another video from a creator called Charlie – known as MoistCr1TiKaL – who had decided to stop receiving financial support from followers.
“I’m explaining why I’m disabling any and all means of people having the ability to donate money to me. No more super chats, no more YouTube memberships for all intents and purposes. No more bits on Twitch,” said Charlie in a video.
“I would much rather you keep your money. Use it for yourself or use it for things you deem important, whether it’s charitable causes or what have you. But just stop forking it over to me.”
The video from Charlie had prompted Garron to take a look at his own earnings, before revealing the breakdown to his fans.

Garron explained that since he began his channel back in 2021, he’s made €32,811.58 ($38,780) with €24,000 ($28,365) of that figure earned this year alone.
With 200 million views on the platform, most of the money comes from his YouTube shorts, however, Garron explained that these don’t earn much at all.
Apparently, each short earns around 46 cent, or occasionally they can earn as much as €13.
However, Garron explained that due to swearing, many of them get demonetised.
“I think it’s amazing, I look at this like free money, even if it was €200, I’d be thrilled with that,” said Garron.
“I’m proud of every f**king penny of it.
“The first job I had I was earning €1,400 a month and I thought I was a very rich man.
“My second job I was earning €1,900 a month and I used to get commission as well so sometimes it would go over €2,000 and when I made over €2,000 a month I felt like I was on top of the world.
“I was paying for a room in Galway and I was paying €620 a month so I’d pay that and with my €2,000 I’d have €1,500 left over.
“I’d go out and spend it on takeaways.”

With Garron explaining that most of his total earnings have come from this year, it certainly seems as though his YouTube channel is heading in the right direction.Featured Image Credit: Olly Curtis/Future via Getty Images

Huge debate sparked after Boomer says ‘life gets real’ for Millennials when they pay for one particular thing
‘This dude’s rage is real’
A man has sparked a huge debate online after attempting to call out Millennials with the facts of ‘life’.
Every generation thinks the next one has it easier than them. But one man’s endeavor to keep it ‘real’ was met by a major crash-out from a Millennial who’d had enough of being patronized. The whole thing has made us realize that perhaps not everyone knows how old each generation actually is.
In case you needed a reminder, Millennials are actually defined as those born between 1981 and 1996 – so, by the end of 2025, the oldest Millennials will be 44 years old, while the youngest will be 29.
Generation Xers, then, are born between 1965 and 1980, making them between 45 and 60 years old today, while the Boomers are aged 61 to 79, born between 1946 and 1964.

Then we have Gen Z, who are ages 13 (yes, I know!) to 28, so born between 2012 and 1997. The youngest are Gen Alpha, whose birthdays are from 2013 onwards.
All this is enough to set off an existential spiral – but at least you now live in the real word, unlike this one guy…
The social media user, an older man wearing a red Trump cap, asked: “Do you know when s*** is going to get real for Millennials? When they have to start paying their own bills.”
An enraged TikTok user, Pearlmania500, hit back in spectacular fashion – and racked up 4.6 million views in the process.
“START! You think things are going to start to get real?” he begins. “How old do you think Millennials are?
“I am 42 years old, I’m an elder Millennial, you want to talk about s*** starting to get real? You want to talk about paying bills?
Pearlmania500 seriously crashed out – but others were in agreement (Pearlmania500/TikTok)
“My generation’s been paying bills for s*** that your generation voted in.”
The rant continued: “I was a senior when 9/11 happened. I was entering the workforce, just had a brand new good job right when the economy fiscally crashed in 2008. Do you know when that was, how long ago 2008 was? 17 years ago!”
Pearlmania went on to talk about his bills, which include the mortgage on his house and private healthcare for his family, including his baby and his wife.
“I have had responsibilities for 23 f*****g years,” he hit out, ultimately concluding that Gen X and Boomers must mistake Millennials for ‘teenagers’.
Others seemed to agree with the generational confusion, as one person wrote: “I’m convinced they think millennial is just another word for teenager.”
“Wait!!! I wasn’t supposed to pay my own bills yet????? wtf!!” one person joked, as a second quipped: “You got scammed girl.”
Somebody else described Pearlmania’s reaction as a ‘valid crashout,’ while a second wrote: “As a 35 y/o millennial – this dude’s rage is real hahaha.”
“As a 22 y/o gen Z I get offended on yalls behalf,” another person commented.
“As a Xennial, older gen x are just boomer lite,” someone else weighed in.
So next time you’re ready to roast a generation, make sure you’ve got your birth years straight before you get schooled.
