Revenge is sweet; just ask the hundreds of children who are stacking Cheerios on their sleeping dads in retaliation to the Cheerio Challenge.

Last Friday thousands of dads across the world started stacking breakfast cereal on the faces of their sleeping babies after Patrick Quinn, the founder of Life Of Dad, started putting the grainy morsels on the nose of his three-week-old son Maxton and shared a photo on his Facebook page.
Since then the hilarious Cheerio Challenge has gone viral with dads across the globe competing for top honours. Some of the stacks are mighty impressive, but you’ve got to wonder if they’ve been glued together or if trick photography is at play. Many fathers have got creative and stacked other edible items such as peanut butter cups.
Apparently the key to success is a steady hand, a straight face and a very tired child, although some dads have pushed the boundaries and attempted to stack while their baby is awake.
Regardless, it’s a craze that’s taking off and is adorable as well as funny and we’re fairly sure The Healthy Mummy dads could give some of the challengers a serious run for their money using the hashtag #CheerioChallenge.

There might even be a few mums and kids, like those on the Life Of Mum FB page, who might like to take revenge and pile up a stack of Cheerios on the faces of the men in their lives using the hashtag #CheerioRevenge. So snap a photo and show us your best stack! Share them on our Healthy Mummy community Facebook page. We’d LOVE to see them.
While we’re talking cereal, did you know that the healthiest ones for children contain less than 2.5g/100g of saturated fat and less than 400 mg of sodium/100g?
It’s also wise to look at the sugar loads and if you’re buying cereal without fruit it’s best to buy those that have no more than 20g of sugar per 100g, and a cereal with dried fruit must not have more than 25g per 100g.
To provide kids and adolescents with at least one third of their recommended daily whole grain intake, consider cereals that contain at least 7g of dietary fibre and that are 40% whole grain.
Happy stacking – we can’t wait for see your photos!
