Condom challenge
Condom Challenge is a viral internet trend that involves filling a condom with water and dropping it onto a person's head, enveloping their face. The challenge gained popularity in 2015, with videos of the stunt being widely shared on social media platforms such as YouTube and Vine.
Origin[edit | edit source]
The Condom Challenge originated in Japan, with the first known video of the challenge being posted on Twitter in November 2015. The trend quickly spread to other countries, with many people posting their own videos of the challenge on social media.
Execution[edit | edit source]
To perform the Condom Challenge, a condom is filled with water and then dropped onto a person's head from a height. The weight of the water causes the condom to stretch and envelop the person's face, creating a visual effect that has been described as resembling a water balloon. The person's ability to breathe is not typically affected, as the condom usually breaks or is removed before this becomes an issue.
Criticism and safety concerns[edit | edit source]
The Condom Challenge has been criticized for its potential safety risks. There is a risk of suffocation if the condom does not break or is not removed in time. In addition, the challenge can also cause discomfort or injury if the condom is dropped from a significant height.
In popular culture[edit | edit source]
The Condom Challenge has been featured in a number of media outlets, including BuzzFeed and The Guardian. It has also been the subject of numerous reaction videos on YouTube.
