The Microwave Challenge is heating the net. But what the hell is it?
Necessarily, this hot new online fad entails social media customers filming themselves sitting on the floor and spinning around like a microwave plate without moving their arms or legs.
It’s harder than it appears.
This weird internet craze seems to have taken off, as people try to spin around like they’re in a microwave … Sort of. The viral trend has surged over social media a few days after beginning on TikTok in February. Dozens of films display humans sitting on the ground with their legs stretched out directly in front of them, slowly rotating their whole bodies in a circle like a microwave plate. The challenge is to make it round — without shifting your arms or legs.
It’s believed that the viral fashion kicked off on TikTok’s video-sharing website last month. But the Microwave Challenge has exploded in recent days, with copycat films popping up all over Twitter and Facebook. Participants frequently use the same tune—Slow Dancing in the Dark by Joji—to accompany their challenge. The tune uses a bell sound that feels like a microwave’s ping.
People had been left baffled by the great new craze.

What is the name of witchcraft goes on? “How are those humans doing that motion simply sitting on the floor?” Another wrote: “How the f–k are humans doing the #MicrowaveChallenge? What are you letting on?” The Microwave Challenge comes warm at the heels of the “Cheese Challenge,” in which people might film themselves throwing sliced cheese at their toddlers’ faces.
Ever seen the film “Pulp Fiction”?
If no longer, it is one of the most bizarre movies ever created. My preferred part is referred to as “The Bonnie Situation.” It is not as useful as it’s funny (in a disturbing way). But due to the fact, there may be a HUGE Internet marketing lesson in it.
Here’s what I suggest:
The “Bonnie Situation” is the movie’s 3rd “act” in which two of the principal characters (performed by way of John Travolta and Samuel Jackson – hitmen for an L.A. Gangster) by chance kill a person of their car with the aid of taking pictures his head off – splattering his brains and blood and face all over the windows and seats.
(I told you it changed into a bizarre film…)
They can not be forced around in vast daytime like that. And so that they pull into a nearby friend’s garage. Naturally, this buddy (whose call is Jimmy) ain’t too satisfied. For one issue, it is handiest seven in the morning, and Jimmy’s nevertheless in his robe. But even worse, Jimmy’s wife, Bonnie, is coming home in an hour and a half from her job at the clinic. And Jimmy makes it crystal clear. He will get divorced if she unearths a useless frame within the garage.
