Back in the 1990s, none of us could have imagined that a day would come where you and someone in Sweden would be attempting the same mindless online activities without ever meeting each other. But that day is here, and internet challenges are a trend that doesn't seem to be going anywhere. That is the power of the internet and social media. In recent years, internet challenges have united the world, making it feel like one big community. Today, in this article, we are taking a look back at where it all started, as well as reminiscing on some of our favourite internet challenges that took the world by storm.

The Planking Challenge

Do you remember the days when people would lie stiff as a board in unique locations? This challenge could be considered the original challenge, paving the way for future video challenges.

The Cinnamon Challenge

You shouldn't try this at home, they said. This looks brutal.

The Harlem Shake

We were treated to a display of impressive dance moves in interesting outfits. And just so you know, we didn't sit this one out.

The Running man Challenge

This one was simply too cute to handle, and we were here for every second of it.

The Ice Bucket Challenge

If you missed this one, you must live under a rock. If you accepted this challenge, you had a bucket full of ice water poured over you. Yikes!

One chip Challenge

It started back in 2016 and is still going on today. It clearly never gets old.

U Name It Challenge

There was something about greens that made everyone want to dance, for some reason, and we were here for it.

The Mannequin Challenge

It was quite impressive to see how still people could be, even in very awkward positions.

Cheesed Challenge

Parents entertained us at the expense of their babies, but it was all so cute.
