There are many internet challenges that bloom and go viral spreading across Social Media platforms. Few of those challenges fizzle out in a hurry, a few other challenges keep lasting long. Today, lets check out the top 10 Dumb Internet Challenges that were still trending.
Duct Tape Challenge :
The Duct Tape Challenge seems harmless. The challenge is a participant would be wrapped up in Duct Tape for 3 minutes after which they have 3 minutes to escape. Things didn’t go quite as planned for a teen named Skylar Fish. During the challenge he suffered severe head injuries, a brain aneurysm and damage to his eye socket while trying to free himself
100 Layers Challenge :
The 100 Layers challenge started when a user uploaded 100 layers of her nail polish collection Video on YouTube. This gave birth to this challenge and kept trending. Very Soon this 100 Layers nail polish challenge was transformed into 100 layers of anything including make up foundation, lip stick layers, eye brows, nutella and many more. Everyday people kept exploring a new 100 layers challenge on their face and hands.
Planking :
Planking is also known as the lying down game which is still going strong till date.
This started around 2010 when people started planking on unusual places. This game seems harmless, but it even cost someone their life. In 2010, a 20 year old Australian boy while planking on his balcony, lost his balance and fell to his death.
Vodka Eyeballing :
Vodka eyeballing is one of the dumbest internet challenges! The challengers pour Vodka into the eye socket to get intoxicated faster. Most of the participants for this challenge were college students. The American Academy of Ophthalmology has condemned the challenge but that did not stop it from trending.
Choking Challenge :
Children and adults have been taking part in this challenge for years. This started trending when participants uploaded their videos on YouTube. Many people have even lost their lives but this challenge hasn’t lost its popularity.
Salt and Ice Challenge :
Salt and Ice Challenge is super risky and gained its popularity around 2012. We found horrifying images of the participants who did this challenge. But this did not stop people from doing this insane challenge. People sprinkle salt on their body part and place an ice cube on top of it which creates a burning sensation on the skin. Participants who tolerated the pain suffered serious second and third degree injuries
Hot Pepper Challenge :
Participants film their reactions while eating red hot chilli peppers . At the beginning, it was interesting to watch people trying to eat peppers, turning red faced and chugging milk to fight the intense heat from the peppers.
The Saltine Challenge :
The Saltine Challenge requires you to eat 6 Saltine in under a Minute. Though it sounds quite simple, the dryness of the crackers and the salt makes it almost impossible to finish the challenge without doing some major damage to you throat.
Ice Bucket Challenge :
Ice Bucket Challenge has a great purpose. It was started to raise funds for those who suffer from ALS. If you choose to complete the challenge and fail so, you need to donate the funds to the ALS Association.
Fire Challenge :
The Fire Challenge is the dumbest challenge over the internet but that did not stop idiots, I mean people, from attempting it. The challenge consists of rubbing hand sanitizer or a flammable substance on your body part then lighting a flame and proceed to watch your flesh burn. Many participants suffered third degree burns, but still this challenge keeps trending till date.
