2girls1cup: Doesn’t This Make the Cinnamon Challenge Look Like a Piece of Cake?

By Jivika On Sep 12, 2022

Good morning, you foolhardy risk-takers. It looks like you and I both like a little bit of low culture now and then. Maybe to remind you that you should never take people seriously. Perhaps to take a break from the way the world is right now? Why else would you look for “2 Girls, 1 Cup”? It’s not the most popular thing on Po*nhub, nor is it a sex tape of a famous person.

We’d say that when the internet was young, there wasn’t a video that made one generation less sensitive to everything than this. So, we’re making a timeline of the famous clip to show why it’s still one of the most important arguments of the 21st century. And if you’re wondering, “What does “2 girls, 1 cup” mean?” What have you been doing?

Sullied Beginnings

In 2007, MFX media started making Hungry Bitches, a Brazilian scatological po*n movie. Behind the camera was self-described “compulsive fetishist” Marco Antonio Fiorito, who would soon be in court for obscenity charges.

Karla, whose real name was Carla Oliveira, and her co-star Latifa were playing with a cup in front of the camera. Three days after filming, Latifa died of dysentery.

The movie was frank about how Karla and Latifa’s love was free. In this case, it was eating warm poop from a plastic cup with other people.

The one-minute trailer for Hungry Bitches was all it took for the movie to become a hit. If you don’t want to watch the whole thing, here’s a short but graphic summary:

One of them poops into just one cup.
The two take turns eating the trash with their mouths.
Each person throws it up into the cup.
Each person throws up in the mouth of the other.
Herve Roy’s hauntingly beautiful “Lovers Theme” can be heard in the background.

The Curse of Curiosity

The one-minute show with these two girls was shared almost immediately from one unprepared person to the next, causing people worldwide to talk about it and throw up. The internet domain name “2girls1cup” was quickly claimed by the trend, which gets millions of visits daily.

The government took the site down, but a new group of sites popped up as soon as a video was taken down. It was always just a few clicks away from getting to 2 Girls 1 Cup.

So why did this video go viral like nothing else ever has? Let me explain. When someone invites you to their house and says, “Just don’t go into that room,” and points to a mysterious door at the end of the hallway, where does your mind go? All of a sudden, what’s behind the door is all you can think about.

With a name like “2 Girls, 1 Cup,” it’s no surprise that we couldn’t help but slowly turn the knob.

The video could also have become a “challenge” or “bucket list” item to complete. In an interview with Esquire Magazine, George Clooney said something interesting about the video. He noted that it was like watching a rodeo. “How long can you keep looking at me?”

Doesn’t This Make the Cinnamon Challenge Look Like a Piece of Cake?

But if you didn’t watch 2 Girls 1 Cup out of curiosity, a desire to be different, or to check something off your list, that didn’t mean you were safe from exposure. The affair also turned out to be a cruel prank to play on friends who didn’t see it coming. This is how I first learned that scatological warfare could make you want to throw up.

The Sticky Aftermath

Once everyone had seen 2 Girls 1 Cup, whether on purpose or not, the internet and famous people got together to laugh at how silly it was. YouTube quickly filled up with reaction videos. Everyone got their icky fix, from marines to makeup channels. This made reaction videos a vital genre in the homemade-video market.

Celebrities also wanted to get in on the fun. John Mayer ate frozen yogurt with chocolate sauce to make himself look good for his blog. It’s not quite as sexually stimulating as seeing Neon live at The Nokia Theatre, but we’ll take it.

Conan O’Brien had Andy Richter eat two bowls of soup for his parody, One Guy, Two Bowls. Even everyone’s favorite frog, Kermit, was dragged into the mess when a fake reaction to something he said went viral on YouTube and got millions of views.

Was It Fake?

Since that video of two girls playing with a cup was released over ten years ago, it’s safe to say that the dust has settled. Thank god. But there is still one big question: Was it staged, or was the feces actual?

One theory says that the poop came out too quickly and wasn’t the right consistency. Skeptics also said that the “turd” was chocolate mousse and that the “vomit” was a fake prop from the other side of the movie business.

This idea gained much support because people were willing to believe it. If we knew that these people didn’t eat each other’s poop, our souls would feel a little better.

The truth is much worse than what was shown in the movie, no matter how journalistic. I don’t doubt that the situation where two girls play with a cup is actual. We’ve got evidence too.

First of all, the director Marco likes fetish films, and when 2 Girls 1 Cup was banned in the United States, Marco never said that the video was faked. He said he didn’t know that putting two girls in one cup was against the law in the United States.

Second, Waterford Whispers News talked to co-star Karla about the project many years later. I could tell from their conversation that Karla was very willing to do things for free:

“I tried making other fetish movies with urine and other things, but it all felt so strange to me.”

It looks like things only go wrong once.
