If you've watched Squid Game, then you've probably spent an unreasonable amount of time wondering if you'd survive the various challenges.

Like wondering whether you could hold extremely still in Red Light, Green Light; or trick your opponent in marbles; or lick honeycomb like your life depended on it (because it does).
Honestly, all of the games are stressful. The real tea is that I already know wholeheartedly I'd be one of the first to go.

^Me in Squid Game.
One of the most stressful tests the contestants faced was in Episode 3 during the honeycomb challenge, when they were tasked with cutting a shape out of honeycomb with a needle.
That episode clearly left a mark, because in the past few months, everyone and their mom began trying the "honeycomb" or "dalgona" challenge on TikTok.
Countless videos of people heating and pressing the liquid sugar into various shapes, and then attempting to cut the shape out, have sprouted all over TikTok. This one from @erictriesit has 82 MILLION views.
