Bobby Bones watches a lot of sports, and he noticed whenever a player gets knocked out on the sidelines, they bring a pack of smelling salts up to their nose and they immediately wake up.
So Bones decided to purchase them to test out how they work in studio, they had a devil on the package which initially freaked out all of the show members. Amy was the first to inhale the salts, and immediately took off running around the studio. She noted “that was not ok,” and had a flashback to when she took the World’s Hottest Shot. The guys described her galloping around the studio like a horse. She does think if she were unconscious, the smells would work. Eddie inhaled next and left his desk. He started bending over and spitting on the floor noting “that will wake you up.” He described the experience as jumping in a swimming pool without plugging your nose and all the water rushes to your head.
Bones smelled it next and it made him stick his tongue all the way out. He described the experience as if someone poured cascade down his nose and then immediately wanted it to come out of his mouth. He wanted to rip his tongue out of his head. Lunchbox was the last to inhale it and basically threw the bottle across the room. He started crying and said it burned instantly. He added that he could definitely run through a wall after that experience.
Amy looked up the science of what happens with smelling salts and found it irritates the membranes of the nose and lungs, which then triggers an inhalation reflex.
