TikTok’s algorithm means some of the craziest things can go viral and this time it’s the ‘Sprite Challenge’ – but what is the trend that Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards regrets attempting?
The app really does have to power to give anything it’s 15 minutes of fame, but some trends are more fun than others and some you just absolutely shouldn’t try.
What is the ‘Sprite Challenge?
The ‘Sprite Challenge’ has had several variations over the years some more inventive than others, but this TikTok challenge is simply a person must drink an entire bottle of Sprite and attempt not to burp – simple enough, in principle, but apparently not an easy feat according to some TikTok users.
Some people are pretty convinced the challenge is not possible to complete without burping after the fizzy lemon and lime drink.
Perrie Edwards Regrets Attempt
It seems even celebrities aren’t exempt from the TikTok challenges, as Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards had fans in stitches as she gave the ‘Sprite Challenge’ a spin.
In the video she posted the singer was sitting with her friend, Ellie Hemmings when she attempted to drink an entire can of Sprite without burping. However, things took a bad turn when the 28-year-old could barely keep the drink down.
By the end of the three-minute clip, Edwards was gasping for breath and burping loads, before giving up as she fears she might be sick as she said: ‘This is the worst thing I’ve ever done…I’m not doing that.’
