Actually, there hasn’t been any outrage yet, which is a relief, because who isn’t sick of the parental judgment that has overwhelmed social media the past few weeks? This is simply a fun, harmless diversion. It makes sense that this took off on Father’s Day weekend, because it’s definitely a dad thing to do.

Running in the Covington Y Cheerios Challenge helps ensure that every child can participate in Y programs like youth sports, swim lessons, and summer day camp. I love the little guy, but let’s move this along already! I know, I know, be careful what you wish for – I also have a five-year-old and the baby is a LOT easier to deal with.

On Sunday, the host slammed the cereal’s toothless Twitter account in a Last Week Tonight web segment, daring the breakfast brand to use the F-word in exchange for a charitable donation from Oliver and Co. I have a five-month-old and he does four things: smiles, cries, eats, and poops. John Oliver has opened a box of whoop-ass on Cheerios.

The CheerioChallenge quickly went viral, and now hundreds of dads are joining in.

“This whole thing started out of pure boredom. The Cheerio Challenge is currently taking over the internet as evidenced by all the dads and moms combining two of the best things in the world: breakfast cereal and fresh-faced babies.We reached out to Patrick, one of Life of Dad’s Co-Founders, and he confirmed the boring baby thesis. This was our very own Patrick Quinn this week and when he piled up five Cheerios on his new kiddo’s nose and posted it on the Life of Dad Facebook page, the Cheerio Challenge was born. So you’re sitting there with your sleeping baby in the morning, munching on some cereal, catching up on the big game you didn’t see the end of last night because you’re an exhausted parent and you think, I wonder if I could stack Cheerios onto of my baby’s face.
