i saw one of those stupid groups where you have to become a fan and invite all your friends, but i can't be bothered so can someone tell me the answer to this riddle please?

I turn polar bears white
and I will make you cry.
I make guys have to pee
and girls comb their hair.
I make celebrities look stupid
and normal people look like celebrities.
I turn pancakes brown
and make your champane bubble.
If you sqeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.

I don't think there's a definitive answer, molly. I tried Googling "I turn polar bears white" and the first few pages all say the same things.

If the riddle has "Can you guess what it is" then yes, you can guess but you won't get the right answer. You can say No and that could be the right answer. The correct answer could be Pressure.

There is no question in that riddle.

Can you guess the riddle?"


97% of Harvard graduates can not figure this riddle out,
But 84% of kindergarten students were able to figure this out,
In 6 minutes or less.

There is no answer. It's just to make you join the group. Similar to all those "ZOMG!! Join here to look at this photo. U WONT BELEEVE IT!!!"

i thought that, s.b. so judge, what do the preschool children think the answer is?

[another-view]

They don't. It's not a proper riddle.

It's been suggested the "riddle" has its origins in the following poem

TIME

The time has come,
winter is here
and those yellow bears disappear.

The time has past
as man looks back with a sigh
and a tear in his eye.

As time is held
boys cross their legs
but of course the toilet begs

As time marches on
Girls loose their blush
and swap a comb for their brush

As time passes
For those held high
their end is nigh

As time catches up
Everyone is equal
when we get to the final sequel

As time turns
Without it we have flour and water
With it we have breakfast for my daughter

As time revolves
How does one turn water and wine
into something so fine

As time runs out
The more in a minute you try and squeeze
the less you can do with ease.

As time ticks
All the time that has past
man cannot comprehend something so vast.
