What won't kids eat on a dare????

Doing things to the extreme has become so popular in the past few years. Even the court system wants to try kids as adults for the crimes they commit (although I understand the sentiment, you'll see where I'm headed shortly). But, kids are kids. They haven't learned how to really judge consequences that result from their actions. They act on impulse and realize, often too late, the realities. Such was the fate of one boy who took a dare from his classmates while in science class. Fortunately for him, the results weren't lethal. http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/weird/Dare-to-Eat-Perserved-Pork-Lands-Teen-in-Hospital.html So, how gross is that??? Have you ever eaten anything on a dare? Did you think about the consequences first? Were you a child or an adult at the time? Can you say that your judgment abilities were substantially better as an adult than as a child (or adolescent)? Do you think you'll share this information with your own kids or grandkids as a reason to think before acting?
