In the ultra-violent survival game show, losing the challenge means instant death. But in real life, some TikTok users who try to rise to the challenge also face dire consequences.
In “Sugar Hive”, contestants must cut shapes with a needle. If the candy breaks in the process, the player loses.
During lockdown in Sydney, Australia, 14-year-old Aiden Higgins decided to make the candy using a TikTok recipe that called for a mixture of water, baking soda, and sugar in a glass of plastic. When Higgins heated the mixture in the microwave, the plastic in the cup melted along with the other ingredients.
According to the DailyMail, Higgins suffered first-degree burns to his hand and third-degree burns to his leg. The burns on his leg caused nerve damage so severe that doctors considered giving him a skin graft.
"The temperature reached an absurd temperature and when he took the cup away it exploded in his hand," his mother, Helen, told the Daily Telegraph. “It burned his hand and because it was sugar and melted plastic, it ran down his leg from his knee to his shin and kept burning and burning and burning.”
Your recovery should take a year.
