Here is a video of someone stacking dog biscuits onto a dog’s head while the obedient pup sits still patiently. Here is a gallery of photos of the challenge in progress, including my favorite with a stack of Cheerios on a kitten: If I didn’t see the photo with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe it! Here is a photo I found on the Facebook page of LiveEachDay: The campaign eventually won a silver lion in Cannes in June, as reported by the co-founder, Tommy Riles. Even then-President Barack Obama took the challenge, as seen on this video: Īccording to, more than 375,000,000 people submitted photos of their attempts at the challenge, generating more than 250 major media placements, and there were more than 3,500,000 social media engagements during its first week.

Macklemore stacked twenty cheerios on top of the forehead of his daughter, who was asleep in a baby carrier strapped to his chest. Videos were spread worldwide on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram under the hashtag #CheerioChallenge. Because the following Sunday was Father’s Day, the story was spread by CNN, the Today Show, Good Morning America, USA Today, Buzzfeed, Mashable and others. Officials at the Cheerios Company and General Mills became aware of the challenge and tweeted about it. Here is a story and video about the #CheerioChallenge: Some men balanced more than twenty rings, some made pyramids, and one even stacked three pancakes in a variation of the theme. Instead the participants are rewarded only with “the thrill of winning or the agony of defeat”. Unlike the Ice Bucket Challenge, no one gains financially from the challenge. Twitter received 25,487 tweets by 19,666 contributors. People began to respond within fifteen minutes, and within an hour, hundreds of people had posted their attempts at the challenge. He posted a picture of his attempt at stacking the cereal with the statement, “Take the Cheerio Stack Challenge!!” and the question, “How high can you go?” Men all over the world couldn’t resist the challenge of trying to outdo him. When he became bored he began stacking Cheerios on the infant’s nose, and then he blogged about it on the site.

Patrick Quinn, the social accounts manager and co-founder of a parenting site called, didn’t want to get up because his three-week-old son Maxton was sleeping on his lap. Since my choices didn’t quite fit this week’s assignment, I chose to blog instead about the #CheerioChallenge, which started in June 2016. The highest I got to is five.”Īnd that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the Cheerio Challenge was born.Having not looked ahead at our assignments, I didn’t realize we’d be blogging about last week’s choices of challenges this week. “So I’d start again, take a picture and it’d topple over. “I’d take a picture but then I’d start laughing and it’d topple over,” Quinn told CNN.

Hmm, thought Quinn, let’s see if I can get one to balance on Maxton’s nose. His older son had left it there because he never puts anything away.

Then he spotted a bowl of Cheerios by the couch. He was sitting on the couch, afraid to move - lest he woke up Maxton, his 3-week-old son who was sound asleep on his lap. So, about a week or so ago, Patrick Quinn felt trapped. What started as a bored Orange County father’s silly way to pass time has become a social game of one-upmanship as dads compete to stack higher and higher towers of Cheerios on their sleeping children. This is the newest ridiculousness on the Internet. This Father’s Day, let’s celebrate dads for something they’re all apparently really good at: stacking Cheerios on their kids’ heads.
