Another weird internet challenge is becoming popular among social media users with parents taking part in it.

The bizarre challenge is called ‘cheesed challenge’ where parents throw slices of cheese at their children’s faces.

It started after a Twitter user shared a video from Facebook and wrote: ‘Just cheesed my lil brother.’

The video instantly went viral and had been viewed more than 8 million times. Parents started taking part in the bizarre Internet challenge.

Later, the user – @unclehxlmes – who posted the video – deleted the video and clarified it was a video that he had taken from Facebook. He wrote:

‘Just to let you all know, that cheese isnt my lil brother and ihv deleted it. Didn’t expect it to get THAT viral lmaoooo’

Some Internet users found the weird challenge funny while others criticized it. One wrote:

‘It’s actually a failure at parenting. Horrible, mean and not funny. That’s a defenseless baby.’

‘It’s not fun, or funny. If you don’t believe me why don’t you look online at some of the commentary on this mean attempt to get some laughs. No one thinks it’s funny’

Another said: ‘DO NOT THROW CHEESE AT A BABY. What is happening?!?! How is this a “challenge”. It’s not funny. Your baby trusts you and has no ability to ask you not to mistreat them so just DONT. I can’t even believe this has to be said?!?!?!’
