Bro code challenge explained: Viral TikTok object trend putting people to the test
A NEW viral challenge testing how much of a “bro” someone is by how they interact with a set of items has taken TikTok by storm.
The challenge is simple enough and even families have gotten involved – here’s everything you need to know about the latest TikTok trend.
What is the bro code challenge?
The bro challenge tests how much of a “bro” someone is based on how they pick up certain objects.
The objects involved could be anything, but often involve pens, balls, kitchen tongs, and drills.
The purpose of the trend is to see if the people being tested would do what’s expected of them with certain objects, such as retracting a pen, clicking kitchen tongs, and wrapping up a bag of sliced bread.
The challenge went viral when TikTok user splendidlysmittenjen went viral on social media with more three million views when she put her husband and children to the test for the bro challenge.
She placed a bag of bread, tongs, a ball and a drill in front of her children and husband.
Surprisingly her husband passed the bro challenge by doing what was expected.
Explaining the challenge to another viewer, Jen said: “Apparently most men (bros) will spin the bag and tuck the end under instead of using a twist tie, click the tongs, toss the ball, and run the drill!
“Just confirmed with my cousin in college in a video.”
