What happens when you mix random stuff in a bowl for 100 days? TikTok found out

Ever wondered what happens when you add random household items to the same bowl every day for 100 days straight?

Well, you’re in luck. One TikTok account has made it their mission to find out—so you don’t have to.

The anonymous account, known simply as Bowl of Danger, adds “random stuff” to a bowl each day until they “get in danger.”

The experiment began in January with a dollop of sunscreen. Each day, something new entered the mix: sugar, whipped cream, deodorant, lit firecrackers, batteries, nail polish, vodka, a whole pizza, a Big Mac.

“Can’t imagine how bad that reeks,” someone wrote in the comments. “I just unlocked a new facial expression,” added a second. Another warned, “No cuz I genuinely think we’re making a pandemic” (check out day 25 at your own risk).

For every person who scrolls past in horror, plenty are invested. Some of the most viral Bowl of Danger videos have racked up millions of views, with fans suggesting new items to add. As for Day 100? The video was taken down, but according to the comments, it involved a firecracker and an explosion.

Since Bowl of Danger went viral, a number of copycat accounts have emerged. There’s The Danger Bowl, naturally, and Bowl of Living—an organic version of the original series. “Mold is just a simple form of life,” the creator says. “I want to create something more—like a new species.”

If you prefer your bowl of rot with an educational edge, there’s also Bowl of Science. “While other bowls waste food or resources, we mix a bowl with things that only physically or chemically react,” the creator said in one video, taking a swipe at the competition. “Where you actually can learn from.” A theory is also circulating that the different anonymous accounts may be run by the same person under different aliases.

Warning: If you’re considering making your own bowl at home, remember that mixing random stuff can have harmful, even deadly, side effects. (Ever heard of mustard gas?)

But if you missed the first round, good news: Season 2 of Bowl of Danger just started.
