DEEP DIVE

TikTokers are challenging themselves to drink lemon juice and maintain a straight face while listening to Lil Keed’s “Snake.” This challenge was first performed by user @madisonkulak16 on March 22. The trend doesn’t have an official name or hashtag, yet, but videos surrounding the trend can be tracked under Lil Keed’s “Snake.”

The challenge appears to be inspired by another TikTok trend surrounding Lil Keed’s “Snake” in mid-March. TikTokers wave their hand in front of their face and change their expression (typically to a serious one) when the chorus says, “Snake.”

Lyrics:

Hightop Chanel, bitch, we drippin’ right
Young YSL, b**ch, we livin’ life

Snake (snake, snake, snake)
Snake (snake, snake, snake)
Snake (snake, snake, snake)
Snake (snake, snake, snake)

The challenge becomes that much more complicated once TikTokers take a shot of pure lemon juice. @madisonkulak16 struggles to maintain a straight face in her video which received over 1.2 million likes and 4.6 million plays, at the time of publication.
