The ‘Matilda Challenge’ Proves Not All Challenges Are As STUPID As Tide Pods

Whenever I hear about a new “challenge” taking over the internet, I take a deep breath and let out a “heeeere we go again” sigh.

Let’s see…

We had the Kylie Jenner challenge:

Where kids were literally cracking glass cups on their lips from sucking too hard and getting horrific facial injuries.

The cinnamon challenge:

…that’s just stupid.

The infamous TIDE POD challenge:

Good lord.

These literally make me question the future of humanity.

But there’s a new challenge taking over the web… and I LOVE IT!

FINALLY! A FUN AND CREATIVE challenge!

The #MatildaChallenge is inspired by the (awesome) 1996 movie ‘Matilda’ about a young girl with telekinetic metal powers.

The challenge invokes just that. And is SO MUCH FUN!
