FEAR FACTOR CANDY CHALLENGE
The hit prime time television series "Fear Factor" forced competitors to face their fears by challenging them to do everything from leaping off cliffs to eating insects. Now the "challenge" has been converted into a junk-food eating game for kids.
The "toy" has been ranked as one of the most dangerous toys of the holidays by the group World Against Toys Causing Harm (W.A.T.C.H.), which has monitored toys for over three decades. According to WATCH, "Toy aisles should not be used to encourage food-eating competitions, which invite potential choking and ingestion injuries, particularly for young children." In order to win a round of the FEAR FACTOR CANDY CHALLENGE, contestants must consume as much candy as possible in the shortest amount of time.
