Katie Notopolous

I think so. So I let it cook for about 12 minutes. And when I opened up the oven door, I was hit with just like a wallop of steam. And that's when I immediately was like, oh, no. Like, I remembered all of a sudden that there was this fake TikTok scare trend a couple years ago called NyQuil chicken or sleepy time chicken.

And it was based on someone had done this viral stunt originally on 4chan where they essentially poached chicken, like raw chicken in NyQuil and then called it sleepy time chicken and ate it or whatever. And obviously this is a prank. Someone recreated it on TikTok and then... There was, like, a little bit of a moral panic that, like, this has gone viral and the kids are doing it.

And the FDA came out and issued, like, a warning of, like, do not do NyQuil Chicken Challenge on TikTok. And it was like, no one's really doing this. This was, like, one person who did it for fun. I don't think they really, like, ate it. The FDA kind of got, like, snookered by this. But part of what they said was, like, it's not just, like, drinking extra NyQuil that will hurt you.

It's the fumes from cooking NyQuil. It can create toxic fumes that can cause lung damage. And so all of a sudden in this moment, as I'm hit by this blast of pizza glue steam, I'm like, oh no, I've created toxic fumes from the glue plastics and that's what's going to kill me. It's going to be the fumes that get me. So I turned on the oven fan and stepped away a little bit. I had to let it cool.

But it was like, The pizza did seem bubblier than I would normally expect a pizza to be. I don't know if it was the glue or the sauce or the cheese or what, but it was really like bubbling and sizzling and making a lot of noise for kind of a few minutes.

Yeah, I think had I not known the glue was in there, and I will say the pizza, like, looked really good. Like, I was kind of like, wow, I did a good job here. This is a good-looking pizza. This might be my best yet. So I left the pizza cool.

This is when I started getting really nervous that I had changed the chemical property that, you know, sure, this was non-toxic when it's room temperature in the bottle of glue, but they're not expecting anyone to cook it. And that you may have significantly changed the chemical properties of the glue. And now it's like incredibly toxic and that I'm going to die.

So I started getting nervous about that. So I let it cool, like extra cool. I eventually took a couple bites and like it was not good. Did it taste like glue?
