Another Ridiculous Challenge – They're Throwing Cheese at Babies Now!

Apparently throwing cheese at babies is funny. Why and in what universe, I don’t know, but the ‘cheesed challenge’ is the latest to go viral; after all the other strange, disgusting, downright dangerous ones that preceded it. Just when we thought things couldn’t get any more ridiculous they started throwing cheese slices at babies and pets.

Random Twitter vid

The Twitter handle yungholmes VE or @unclehxlmes posted a video in which he sneaks up to a small child and scares him with a slice of cheese. “Just cheesed my lil brother,” @unclehxlmes wrote. Bizarrely, the post got some 8 million + views. It also inspired others to demonstrate their dairy flinging abilities.

It got out of hand

When people started imitating this and it all got rather out of hand, so he deleted the video… not before all this happened though:

This is how you do it

So you throw a slice of cheese into a small child's face. Not sure where there is any kind of ‘challenge’ – or sense – in this; but many decided to play along.

Some were confused

This kid saw it coming; but didn’t see where it went. It was clearly all rather confusing for this kid.

Some thought it was hilarious

Some people found it all hilarious. Some kids also did not seem to mind. This kid clearly likes cheese.

Some babies are used to catching

Some tried the challenge on their fur babies; who didn’t seem to mind at all.

Why stop at babies and fur babies?

And why stop at just a slice of cheese? This Twitter user decided to try it on an older person. Also, they decided to use an entire burger, not just a slice of cheese.

Some caution?

“Poke his eye out” we hear a voice saying in this video. So some people clearly had some misgivings about the ‘challenge’; even though the kid doesn’t seem to mind at all.

A ruse?

Some people decided that the ‘challenge’ was just a way to get kids to stop crying… because which human would continue crying when he or she has been distracted by a delicious edible projectile being flung in their face.

Cheese phobia

Though a lot of the kids enjoyed having slices of dairy product thrown in their faces; some were clearly not pleased. There will be at least some kids who will grow up having only a very fuzzy idea about why it is they hate cheese.

As for yungholmes VE or @unclehxlmes who started this and then deleted his video when things got out of hand, I have this to say: what’s the point in bolting the stable door now the horse has bolted? You’ve unleashed a wave of stupidity within the world… stupidity we always knew existed but which you have now proved beyond doubt.
