Oh, buuuurn!
The snowy tundra of America can’t seem to get enough of the endless entertainment of watching boiling water being turned into a frosty cloud on the internet.
Move over cats playing the piano, we want water changing states! It’s not TV, it’s H2O!
But seriously, what else is there to do in a polar vortex?!
Newscasters, and meteorologists are doing it, and some have even advocated trying the feat on air, or otherwise!
However, people seem to be forgetting that doing anything with boiling water is incredibly dangerous, and, surprise, the result of this new craze is over 50 burn injuries reported on social media, and several being sent to the hospital for burns.
Seriously, this new trend makes planking look like it could pass health and safety codes.
Ch-ch-check out all the viral fails crash and burn…AFTER THE JUMP!!!
