Tea Loyalty Test Trend: Every day some new trend goes viral in the world of social media. While some trends are liked by people, some trends are quite challenging and dangerous. One such trend is becoming quite viral these days, which has shocked and troubled the internet users. According to this trend, couples are spilling hot tea on their hands to prove their loyalty towards each other. It is believed that if someone does not remove his hand despite pain, then he is loyal to his partner.

This trend may seem quite attractive, but in reality it is also very dangerous from health point of view. Thousands of videos to this trend have been made so far and they are becoming increasingly viral on social media. But the question is, is this the way to prove love?

This loyalty test trend is very much liked by every couple. In this dangerous trend, couples hold each other’s hands and pour boiling tea on their hands to test their loyalty towards each other. If someone does not remove his hand or step back in pain while the tea is spilling, then he is completely loyal to his partner. People are taking this trend as a test of true love.

Netizens called it torture

Recently, different types of reactions of people are being seen regarding this trend going viral. This trend has received thousands of views on social media. Netizens have completely rejected it and many people are calling it toxic level of relationship, mental torture and madness. Netizens believe that love is based on trust, not by burning oneself. While one said that this is not a test of loyalty, but an indication of the need for mental treatment.
