Stupid New Social Media Trend — Sucking Down Helium Then Burping

We are a whooping five days into the new year and we've already got the first new social media trend of the year.

Apparently kids had absolutely nothing to do over the holiday break, because people are posting videos of them sucking down helium from a balloon and then burping.

If everything goes well, the result is an extremely high pitched burp which sounds ridiculous.

Of course, taking in a little helium is fine and won't really hurt you. However, if you breathe in too much helium, you deprive your body of oxygen and you could pass out, which is dangerous.
