FORGET the ice bucket challenge. People are taking to social media to take part in the ‘condom challenge’ ... and the results are pretty funny.
The bizarre stunt requires the help of a friend and involves filling a condom full of water — so that you are left with a huge balloon.
The helper then stands above the person taking the challenge and simply drops the condom onto their head.
If the challenge goes to plan, the condom should snugly wrap around the other person’s head and engulf their face — causing a hilarious ‘bubble’ effect.
Some people have expressed safety concerns though, pointing out that the condom could obstruct the player’s airway.
However, there’s apparently a more serious message behind it all: To demonstrate that condoms are extremely strong and durable, and no man should tell you he’s too big for one.
The popularity of the challenge has gained momentum in the wake of a Japanese duo’s YouTube video uploaded November 17.
The challenge is currently taking social media by storm, with users of Facebook and Twitter lining up to share their attempts.
