This ‘Sprite trend’ on Tiktok, has been going so viral with people recreating it and gaining millions of views. Continue reading to learn more about the craze of chugging cold drinks, which is actually damaging to one’s health.
What Is The Tiktok ‘Sprite’ Challenge?
‘Sprite’ is the cold drink that content creators are challenged to consume; yes, it sounds insane because I can’t even drink two sips of it without pausing.
The challenge has some conditions, and the person who follows them wins. Participants are instructed to chug a whole can or bottle of sprite, with the winner being the person who finishes it without gauging or burping.
However, it appears that numerous users failed to attempt it, with one celebrity gasping for air.
Perrie Edwards Has Feelings Of Guilt Regarding Engaging With The Tiktok Sprite Trend
The British singer and part of the girl group Little Mix also attempted to gulp two cans of Sprite, but only half one can leave her grabbing her stomach on the ground, something she afterward regretted.
Her friend taped her reaction to the video, which went viral.
In the video, she stated ‘This is the worst thing I’ve ever done…I’m not doing that,’ she shared the video with her fans stating ‘Me and @elliehemmings did the fizzy pop challenge on TikTok and this was the aftermath. HORRIBLE.’
Harmful Effects Of Chugging Sprite
Perrie’s reaction proves that sprite has some negative effects. The harmful effects include:
- Your teeth will bleach, even more, causing enamel degradation, increased transparency, and, in some cases, increased sensitivity.
- Sugar will be absorbed in large quantities by your body, which is incredibly harmful to your health. It includes diabetes risk, obesity risk, and kidney and liver damage.
- The liquid will make your stomach feel full, forcing you to drink less water, resulting in dehydration.
- And if you’re chugging it as a challenge it will probably make you gasp for air. You might also throw up.

This is a challenge that Twitter users can’t seem to get enough of. Nor Is It possible to stop laughing for them.

A Twitter user described how he failed the challenge and how his nephew puked at the end.
Just tried that sprite challenge floating around TikTok. I burped with the wrath of a million Roman soldiers. Also my nephew threw up from it. Pretty good Easter so far. Lol.
I failed.

Another person appears to be completely perplexed as to how people come up with these ideas.
Have you tried this Sprite Challenge ever? What was your experience? Don’t forget to let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
But also we don’t recommend trying this because you don’t want to gasp for air and harm yourself. Trends are all fun & cool until it goes a little out of line.
I just tried this Sprite challenge while I watched along with YouTuber Alonzo Lerone attempt it. It took him two tries (he burped/burped up the first two bottles but eventually got a whole glass down without any issues). I chugged my Sprite without stopping, didn’t burp, and ended up not being able to burp much when I had finished. Hence I’m sitting here waiting for my stomachache to calm down while I post this! It started off gods-awful, I was bloated, feeling slightly lightheaded and dizzy, and was unable to burp that really good burp that would make me feel better. Finally, after a few decent ones made it out, and after getting some air, I’m starting to feel a bunch better. No burps (or pukes!) for me. I wouldn’t recommend this challenge, though… especially with so many people puking! It could actually be dangerous (and not only that, it WILL make you feel like a blimp).
I hope you’re feeling okay now.
Seriously WTF is wrong with people???
Over the years there has been so many stupid challenges and for what?? Likes, views and attention! There have been numerous injuries, many fatal and yet it still continues.
Absolutely pathetic 🙄
I tried the Sprite challenge yesterday afterschool with my friends, instead we had 1litre bottle each, we all finished it with sore stomachs and unable to walk without hurting stomachs, I wouldn’t try it if I were you unless you want a bad stomach ache or you would want to vomit.
