You Can't Swallow #Cinnamon?

On Saturday, I was hanging out with these loverly people ...

... and the subject of swallowing cinnamon came up. DUDE! I had no idea that you couldn't swallow cinnamon. Like really?? Like really really?

I couldn't find anyone valid enough to speak on the topic online (feel free to tweet me about it if you find a good one, @jenfriel) ... but apparently the cinnamon dries out your mouth preventing you from actually being able to swallow, and in some cases can even induce vomiting. Dude for REALS?!?!?!! OMG I totally want to try this ...

Anyone try it before??
