The Dangerous Side of TikTok: Tennessee Man Dislocates Shoulder Attempting Viral Challenge

Social media can be a source of entertainment, but it can also be dangerous. A Tennessee man is an example of this, when he dislocated his shoulder trying a challenge of TikTok which has gone viral in recent weeks.

The challenge involves spinning in circles with a ketchup bottle in hand, so that centrifugal force causes the ketchup to settle to the bottom of the bottle, supposedly making it easier to squeeze out the last drop.

However, this seemingly simple trick has turned dangerous for some TikTok users.
