前兩年特別風靡的“冰桶挑戰”曾經長時間占領社交媒體，各路名人紛紛表示支持，并且身體力行，因為，那是一項針對漸凍癥人群的公益慈善活動。

最近幾天，網絡上的奶爸們又掀起了新的一股挑戰風潮：麥圈挑戰。奶爸們創意擺出，就是為了在熟睡的娃臉上多摞幾個麥圈。

Cheerio Challenge is a hit on social media as dads compete to stack higher and higher towers of Cheerios on their sleeping children.
奶爸們互相比拼看誰能在自家娃熟睡時在他們臉上多放幾個麥圈，“麥圈挑戰”由此成為社交媒體熱門話題。

Unlike the Ice Bucket Challenge, this one isn't designed to draw attention to any particular cause.It's just a simple challenge with a smile-inducing payoff.
與“冰桶挑戰”不同的是，“麥圈挑戰”并沒有特別的設計和緣由，純粹是為了博大家一笑。

The trend started as a bored Orange County father's silly way to pass time. He posted the picture of his 3-week-old son with 5 cheerios on his nose on the parenting site he's running, Life of Dad. By the next morning, Life of Dad's social accounts were blowing up. Photos starting flooding in.
最初，這只是美國加州奧蘭治縣一位熊爸消磨時間的方式。他把自家3周大的兒子以及臉上放了5個麥圈的照片發布在自己運營的親子網站Life of Dad上。第二天一早，這個網站的社交賬號就開始被各種評論擠爆。他開始收到各式挑戰照片。

There were dads who balanced upwards of 20.
有的奶爸能在孩子臉上放20個麥圈。

Dads who went for multiple stacks. Or made a Cheerios pyramid.
有的老爸在孩子臉上放了好幾摞。還有的堆了個金字塔。

The funniest one was a little baby with three pancakes stuck on her head.
最好玩的一個是一個小朋友腦袋上頂了三個餅。
