There have been some perilous ones as well, and it seems 2021 just gave birth to another one — milk crate challenge.
In what began as a quest to kill boredom or to flaunt people’s athletic side after the Tokyo Olympics, people were seen taking up the challenge and stacking plastic crates in the shape of a pyramid.
Originally started in TikTok, the video showed while some attempted it by using just a few blocks, others raised the stakes, stacking dozens of it, as well as simultaneously doing other things.
Now, moving beyond TikTok, the challenge has been a hit on Instagram and Twitter as well.
They also underlined that hospital workers are already overworked with the rising Covid-19 cases and urged all to be safe and not attempt something silly to harm themselves.
Time and again, virtual challenges have taken a risky turn, raising alarm among public and health experts.
