Parents smear fake poop, usually made from peanut butter or chocolate pudding, on their hands or toilet paper.
The trend gained popularity on TikTok and Instagram.
This prank is meant to be a lighthearted family joke aimed at capturing authentic, dramatic reactions from kids.
They call their children into the bathroom, asking for help (often for toilet paper), and then reveal the "mess".
Some variations involve fake poop made from other household items.
The "Parents Poop Challenge" or "Fake Poop Prank" is a viral trend on social media where parents pretend to have had a bathroom accident to elicit funny reactions from their children.
The reactions from children often involve screaming, shock, and confusion.
