A little-known variation of the originally viral cinnamon challenge, the Sahara Anus instead forces contenders of the challenge to place cinnamon in or around the anus for a period of
time. The goal of the Sahara Anus is to keep the cinnamon on the outside opening of the
butthole (or completely inside for the most daring contestants) longer than the rest of the challengers. The name derives its origins from the extremely parched and
dry texture the cinnamon leaves on the anus, similar to the extreme
heat and barrenness of the Sahara Desert.
