their dangerous ingredient list isn't that scary. ethanol (drinking alcohol), hydrogen peroxide (oral debriding, naturally occurring in liver) and polymers (which could be a lot of different things)
now kids are going to start eating them to get drunk and clean my mouths out.
True, but these widespread social media fads and memes are clearly influencing them. It's like peer pressure except their peers are purely on the internet and wanting to be a part of these social circles is encouraging them to do batshit insane stuff. I'm not excusing this behavior whatsoever but it is pretty interesting in a morbid sort of way.

I'm a British gay Muslim Pakistani American citizen, ask me how that works! (terribly)
Ignoring the (pun intended) laundry list of other ingredients you didn't mention, some of which are toxic on their own, the bigger problem is that these things are separated. The real danger is when you eat them (or even put them in your mouth), and the film separating them dissolves, and they mix. This creats a caustic substance that can eat through things like your body, and is toxic in your bloodstream.

Good to see people volunteering to help Skim the gene pool a little bit.
I wonder what the next stupid deadly fad for teenagers eager to impress on social media will be?
Perhaps the 50 cyanide pills can you hold in your mouth challenge?
Its sad how utterly stupid people can be, all in the name of doing whatever fad everyone else is doing.
And inb4 someone says 'you did dumb shit as a teen too'... no, actually, I didn't. Didn't mess with drugs, didn't drink, didn't lay down in the road, didn't put hotsauce in my eyes or anything else. I kept my nose clean, my head screwed on straight and my grades up. Maybe that made me boring, but hey... I'll take boring over 'died at 16 from eating detergent.'
Appreciate your time with friends and family while they're here. Don't wait until they're gone to tell them what they mean to you.
To be honest, I think this challenge should be compulsory around the world.
Any teenager who actually does it. 2mins, 6seconds.
