Internet pranks and challenges are as diverse and unexpected as the selection at a high-end bakery. One minute you’re biting into a classic, comforting chocolate chip cookie, and the next, you’re sampling a doughnut infused with some exotic flavor you can’t quite place. Let’s slice into these peculiar pastries of the virtual world, shall we?
1. The Ice Bucket Challenge
This icy escapade involved dumping a bucket of ice water over your head to raise awareness for ALS. Much like biting into a spicy tart when you expected sweet, the shock was palpable, but the results were undeniably effective – millions of dollars raised for research.
2. The Bottle Cap Challenge
In a display of precision akin to icing a delicate pastry, the Bottle Cap Challenge had celebrities and internet users unscrewing bottle caps with a well-placed roundhouse kick. The trend spread like a baking soda and vinegar volcano experiment.
3. 100 Layers Challenge
From nail polish to clothes, or even slices of bread, the task was to pile on 100 layers of something for this amusing challenge. It was much like constructing the world’s tallest mille-feuille – simultaneously ridiculous and impressive.
4. The Mannequin Challenge
Participants froze in place, becoming elements of elaborate tableau scenes that mirrored the harmony in a well-baked cake, where every ingredient perfectly compliments the other.
5. Ghost Pepper Challenge
In this challenge hotter than a freshly baked loaf straight out of the oven, brave (or foolhardy) participants filmed themselves eating one of the world’s spiciest peppers.
6. The Cinnamon Challenge
Swallowing a spoonful of cinnamon in under a minute without drinking any fluids turned out to be as hard as eating a mouthful of dry crackers without a drink.
7. The Running Man Challenge
Based on a catchy tune and a simple dance, this challenge boogied its way into schools, police departments, and even talk shows, proving that everyone loves a good dance-off, almost as much as a surprise cream filling in a doughnut.
8. The Dolly Parton Challenge
This lighthearted challenge involved creating a four-part photo collage showcasing different aspects of one’s personality, intended for LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Tinder. It was as satisfying as perfectly frosting a four-layer cake.
9. The In My Feelings Challenge
Inspired by Drake’s hit song, this challenge had participants jumping out of slowly moving cars to dance alongside them, a trend that spread like hotcakes.
10. The Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge
Many attempted to mimic Kylie Jenner’s plump lips by suctioning their lips with shot glasses. This challenge resulted in more than a few bruised egos (and lips), making it as regrettable as forgetting to preheat the oven before a big bake.
From the genuinely inspiring to the downright peculiar, these challenges serve up a platter of the many flavors the internet has to offer. But remember, not all that glitters is gold… or deliciously glazed pastries. Exercise discernment and stay safe out there in the wild world of web trends!
