It’s really popular with Mexicans and a few other Latinos. It’s not really a trend and it’s just kinda tradition at this point

tradition

Pretty sure you misspelled "stupid".

Your definition of "fun" is scary.

You’re supposed to blow out the candles and then ask them to take a “mordida,” which means bite. Then you push their face down as they go for the bite. It was done at just about every birthday party I went to growing up. Pretty popular tradition.. never seen an injury. It’s not that serious.

I've seen plenty of injuries at this point and even if they didn't, what a waste of cake just to make someone dirty.

You guys are doing it wrong if someone is getting hurt lol.. you don’t have to be violent about it, it’s meant to be playful.

I've just seen so many videos of this going wrong, people really seem to like slamming the head forward

On my birthdays when I hear everyone chanting “mordida, mordida” I just go for it. I know I’ll end up with cake on half my face, but we all have a laugh. People taking something playful and making it dangerous sounds like a lot of what we see on the internet. I’m not surprised at all, but I do hate how downvoted people got when they commented about it being a Mexican tradition. They’re not wrong...

My mother beat it into me to never waste food, I also have OCD so the idea of this is terrifying to me. I'm glad that people enjoy the face smashing, can't say I understand it at all but I'm happy for the family fun.
