Dads across the country take on the Cheerio Challenge

Thanks to competitive dads across the country, the Cheerio Challenge is now quietly sweeping the internet.

It's the brainchild of Patrick Quinn, one of the co-founders behind the Life Of Dad blog and Facebook page.

He challenged fellow dads to see how many Cheerios they could successfully pile onto the faces of their sleeping babies - because why not?

And this is what resulted - countless dads one-upping each other, using pancakes, waffles and even candy when Cheerios weren't at hand!

Some babies were even awake at the time, making it even more challenging!
