10 MOST VIRAL INTERNET CHALLENGES

There have been many crazy viral challenges all over social media platforms nowdays. These are some of the most viral ones:

1. Mannequin Challenge

Mannequin Challenge has been said to be the best Challenge to sweep the internet in 2016 as it got people from different backgrounds and levels of society to participate, including Hillary Clinton, Destiny’s child, Cristiano Ronaldo, etc. This challenge was originated in October 2016 by a group of teenagers in The USA who posed like a mannequin while recorded with music by Rae Sremmurd’s Black Beatles featuring Gucci Manein playing in the background. The challenge, however, didn’t start as the promo for the hip hop duo as they got involved only on the last weekend after the challenge emerged.

2. Running man Challenge

Running Man Challenge is another addictive internet trend created by two basketball players form University of Maryland, Jaylen Brantley and Jared Nickens. The challenge incorporates a well-known dance move of an old '90s hit song called "My Boo" by Ghost Town DJ's.

3. ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is done by dumping a bucket of ice and water over somebody’s head in order to raise people’s awareness of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) disease and fund the research. Around $115 million has been raised from the challenge, which became viral because a person doing the challenge has to tag three other people. 

4. Cinnamon Challenge

This is a food challenge to film someone trying to eat a spoonful of ground cinnamon in one minute. What makes this challenge hard is that the cinnamon coats and dries the mouth which causes a person to cough, gag even vomit. This challenge is pretty harmful because it can cause a permanent lung damage.

This is another viral but harmful challenge that people are being warned against as it’s possible to do so much anatomical damage. The challenge is done by inserting lips into a shot glass, small jar or bottle, then sucking out the air to create vacuum. The lips are expected to be as pouty and sexy as Kylie Jenner’s. The results, however, range from gross to horrifying. Sucking the air out of the glass can create friction, swelling and bruising.
