The #SixWordHorrorStory Challenge Will Give You Food Nightmares For Weeks
There have been more than a few terror-inducing viral trends that have made their way around the internet within the past few years. The “Boiling Water Challenge” literally left people with scars. The “Banana Sprite Challenge” had people puking on purpose. But there’s a new trend floating around the web that is making us legit scared of food. It’s called the #SixWordHorrorStory challenge and it has officially ruined our appetite.
The now-viral Twitter challenge popped up yesterday, June 17th. Comic book writer Gail Simone challenged her followers to write a horror story only using six words. Simone admitted that the challenge isn’t anything new, but she wanted to see what her fans could come up with.
So far, Twitter users have really scared the you-know-what out of us with tweets like, “Turned my head, spider was gone #SixWordHorrorStory,” “I’m tweeting from inside YOUR house #SixWordHorrorStory,” and “Game of Thrones Season 9 announced…#SixWordHorrorStory.” That last one is cold.
But the #SixWordHorrorStory tweets that have sent us under our covers are the ones that have turned us against our beloved food. Simone was one of the first to start the grisly food thread, and it looks like we’re never stepping foot inside an IHOP again.
Was this IHOP always blood-drenched?#SixWordHorror

Nor are we ever eating a potato again. We knew we couldn’t trust those eyes.
The eyes on the potato blinked. #SixWordHorror

“Squirming burrito” is something we thought we’d never have to think about, and yet, here we are.
"Should my burrito be squirming, thusly?" 🧐 #SixWordHorror

This is when you demand to know who ate the last slice and promptly remove them from the friend group. Sorry, but those are the rules.
What kind of business are you running, buddy? You’ll never work in this town again.

Let’s hope you were aware of the “cleansing effect” beforehand. If you don’t know what we’re referring to, check out the Amazon reviews.

Morning. Ruined.

As she cut… what? You know what? We don’t even want to know.
The true “omnivore’s dilemma.” Amiright?

Even some of our favorite chains got in on the fun. Thanks to Moe’s, we hope this never happens.

We honestly just felt the pang of embarrassment from this tweet. Chilling.

We’re not sure where this sentence would ever apply, but we hate it nonetheless. Gross.

There’s still plenty of time to submit your own #SixWordHorrorStory to the growing thread. However, be warned: Scrolling through everyone else’s tweets will absolutely give you nightmares and a stomachache.
