  • Does Mendy Pellin ever THINK??

    It may have started out to be a “humorous” video, but anyone who has been scalded with hot water & even worse, hot chicken soup with its high fat content, will tell you….IT IS NOT FUNNY. It is VERY dangerous.

    I know we are all supposedly intelligent & aware people & we subscribe to the “do not try this at home” philosophy. But there are plenty of kids who may decide to do something similar & hot liquids are not things to be used in these kind of stunts.

    I think the video should be pulled.

    I’d like to know which “Rabbi” gave a heter to waste food. Rather give money to a homeless shelter…

  • did a do the challenge with real HOT soup or did graphics play a role in this? Just wondering... Either way, I don't think kids should see this, it could give them the wrong ideas...

    I usually really like Mendy’s stuff…
