South Africans Hit With #EggChallenge Outbreak During Lockdown Easter

As if a global virus outbreak was not enough to deal with during this Easter, internet users were also subjected to the #EggChallenge.

The egg challenge requires participants to break an egg with their biceps or drink an egg, eat sugar and then drink alcohol. After completion, the challenger can nominate the next unfortunate sucker. However, be prepared to do the shot, as the odds are very much stacked against you to break the dumpty with your biceps, even with guns like The Rock.

South Africans jumped onto the challenge and soon flooded social channels with weak biceps and egg shots.

Obviously the more civilised way to drink a raw egg is in a flip. A nice brandy flip will do the trick.

Mix your own Brandy Flip Cocktail.

You can also whip together a Karoo Oyster instead of your usual morning Bloody Mary and save some of the tomato juice for a more severe hangover.

The Karoo Oyster is a South African twist on the classic Prairie Oyster.
