One of the last times this was posted, it was explained that in this particular country (was it Honduras, maybe?), this was a tradition. Lots of redditors from that country chimed in and said this was totally normal...pushing the birthday kid's face into the cake.

[–]pandallama 158 points159 points ago

It's a lot of Hispanic countries. We chant "Mordida! Mordida!" (bite). And then we smash the birthday girl or boys head into the cake. Mwahaha!

[–]XxGirxX 77 points78 points ago

I am Hispanic, I can confirm this.

[–]mepena2 17 points18 points ago

Hispanic here. I confirm this three. We usually chant "que le muerda! que le muerda!" That's the only thing I dreaded about cutting my cake.

[–]XxGirxX 10 points11 points ago

And we all tell our selfs that we will either move or resist but in the end we end up with a face full of cake.

[–]RedPandaJr 2 points3 points ago

And then we dream of the day we do this to our own child.

[–]Gorillaz_Noodle 17 points18 points ago

Yo soy cake.

[–]damonkat26 0 points1 point ago

Does this mean, "I am cake"?

[–]RedPandaJr 2 points3 points ago

si.

[–]Kazooman 2 points3 points ago

I always hated that part.

[–]TesticleToe 1 point2 points ago

My favorite part is probably the only other adult in the picture looks like she's saying, "OH SHIT, MOTHERFUCKER! YOU GOT SERVED... cake."

[–]briebert 23 points24 points ago

At first, I thought "Mordida" meant "Death". Brings an entirely different slant to the tradition. "Death! Death" Then we smash the birthday girl or boy's head into the cake."

[–]hackinthebochs 19 points20 points ago

...and hold it there until they stop squirming?

[–]Oxxide 28 points29 points ago

CAKE SMOTHERING IS OUR CUSTOM AND I'LL THANK YOU TO RESPECT IT

[–]zombiesammich 5 points6 points ago

Hispanic here. "Mordida" means "bite", and "muerte" means death. Similar, but don't go around asking people for a death to eat, or that you're sorry for their grandfather's bite or something. (:

[–]mocotazo 13 points14 points ago

I remember going to birthday parties when I was younger, the parents would actually buy two cakes. One for the faceplant, and one for guests to actually eat afterwards.

Friend of mine turned 26 last week. They just smushed one slice into his face, the cake they got was too fucking expensive to waste the whole thing.

[–]goatserevival 6 points7 points ago

Mexican here. This is so often done, that some kids will make sure no one is near enough for the face smash, or make people swear before all they hold dearest to not smash their faces into the cake. Still happens all the time, though.

[–]SexyCheese 14 points15 points ago

So, basically, you shout at them to eat and then, regardless of their compliance, force them into gorging the cake.

HAPPY F&$£ING BIRTHDAY!

[–]LegendaryPeanut 6 points7 points ago

Its fun.

[–]mems_account 10 points11 points ago

I remember when it wasn't fun once. It was my 8th birthday. It was a chocolate cake with mint frosting. And in case anyone here doesn't know, mint + eyes = terrible pain.

[–]TouchdownJesus 2 points3 points ago

Oh my god chocolate mint cake. Sounds wonderful.

[–]Ommec 4 points5 points ago

Que lo muerda! Que lo muerda!

[–]deegz10 4 points5 points ago

[–]socks 0 points1 point ago

I wish my birthdays were that much fun! (no, not really)

[–]TheCombatButler 15 points16 points ago

I've seen it done at Mexican birthday parties. I thought this was more common knowledge.

[–]RedPandaJr 3 points4 points ago

Well a lot of redditors are located in the east coast/new England area so yeah thats why. For example in a earlier thread a redditor was talking about coyotes (the smugglers) but most redditors thought he was talking about the animal.

[–]shaggy1265 20 points21 points ago

American here.

We do that all the time. I have had my face pushed into a cake a bunch of times.

It was also done at most of my friends birthday parties so I honestly assumed this was just a normal thing.

[–]paby 17 points18 points ago

35 year old American here, never saw this done as a kid. Grew up in the northeast US.

[–]shaggy1265 9 points10 points ago

I'm in Southern California. i have read below that a lot of people are saying it's a Hispanic thing. I am white but there are a lot Mexican people that live here. That might have a lot to do with it.

[–]paby 4 points5 points ago

Ah hah! Yeah, we didn't even have real Mexican restaurants where I grew up.

[–]TouchdownJesus 3 points4 points ago

Northeastern american here also, i pushed my sisters face in her birthday cake. It must just depend on the sense of humor of the family

[–]pgsgdd 9 points10 points ago

well my parents are from honduras and I do remember faceplanting my cake quite a bit

[–]kellykebab 12 points13 points ago

Is it also the tradition for the head-pusher to make a face like he's passing broken glass through his urethra?

[–]TheBurrowingOwl 5 points6 points ago

They did it to me when I lived in Bolivia. Since I'm from Canada, my friend helpfully explained that I should take my glasses off before the cake comes out because after I blow out the candles they'll push my face into it. Then... they did. I was convinced they were making it up to prank me until I could Google it.

[–]turbie 1 point2 points ago

But I like my cake face free :(

[–]morreo 2 points3 points ago

I've been to my friends (she's Guatemalan) birthday party with her family a few times now. Every year they do this. Everyone laughs afterwards and takes pictures with the birthday girl. I didnt realize this was cultural until I noticed a lot of Latino people in the picture. I just thought it was a family tradition

[–]Blink182ismeh 2 points3 points ago

People do this in America all the time too it's pretty much done all over the world

[–]kromem 2 points3 points ago

I like how everyone is totally chill except the two white kids. The girl is all excited, and the boy's face is going "WTF? I wanted that piece."

[–]paby 7 points8 points ago

White kids don't care about tradition. Just cake.

[–]guustavooo 70 points71 points ago

This would only be WTF if the cake was made of shit, the kid were naked and the old man was cumming on the girl's face.

[–]yur_mom 18 points19 points ago

Yeah, I saw that picture on 4chan yesterday too.

[–]ColtCommander 124 points125 points ago

Man, Stan Lee is a jerk!

[–]majikstranger 16 points17 points ago

lol i was about to say he looked like Stan Lee. An asshole Stan Lee but Stan Lee none the less. Having typed Stan Lee so much just now it makes me wonder, why isn't his name just Stanley.

[–]Mensabutt 6 points7 points ago

What, Ollie?

[–]AdmiralSkippy 77 points78 points ago

We really need some mod intervention or some kind of rule in this subreddit to clean it up. This shit is getting ridiculous. The majority of things on the front page are /r/Im14andthisisWTF instead of WTF.

[–]cobra_2109 42 points43 points ago

How about... we downvote, instead of upvoting these to the frontpage?

http://i.imgur.com/I8CZK.gif

[–]gamelizard 33 points34 points ago

because its not fucking working. people post here what they think is wtf OK that's cool do that all you want but then the trouble comes from wtf being a dfault. many people will see this and go oh hay that really funny like i did up vote, but then i saw that this was wtf and i whenT "shit man Reddit is organized for a reason, cant have that in wtf, needs to be in r/funny". but like 90% of the up voters do not pay attention to the sub it is in and just up vote cus its funny, well shit in wtf isn't supposed to be funny just wtf. DOWNVOTING STOPS DOING ITS JOB OF PREVENTING A SUB FROM BEING OVER RUN WITH INAPPROPRIATE SHIT IF THAT SUB IS A DEFAULT

[–]Eduardo141414 7 points8 points ago

LURKERS!!

[–]freebullets 5 points6 points ago

14-year-old lurkers.

[–]Blink182ismeh 9 points10 points ago

Have the mods ever done anything for this subreddit, it's becoming full retard. I'm finding it really hard why someone would ever post this picture here

[–]Cynikal818 5 points6 points ago

nope. I asked them why they let this shit get posted if it's not WTF worthy...they said if it gets upvotes it stays.

idk what the mods do here.nothing? what an easy job.

they need to not have /r/wtf as a default sub. most people don't even check what sub shit is in and they upvote it.

I think the rule should be can it go to /r/pics? /r/funny? /r/gore? then it goes there. This sub should just be for shit that can't really go into those subs without getting downvoted by people that are to pussy to stomach the content.

this place has been taken over by little kids.

I'm just going to start posting pictures of my dick in /r/awww...maybe their mods are asleep/lazy fucks too. At least I'll get a laugh.

[–]troll_trollingsworth 2 points3 points ago

people post to /r/WTF because they know more people will see it due to the default sub status... all that sweet sweet ill-gotten karma...

[–]Cynikal818 1 point2 points ago

do people really care about fake internet points?

fuck. I wish people cared about something useful...like continuity or something

[–]MrNewking 4 points5 points ago

why the fuck anyone would upvote it is the bigger question.

[–]ElGoddamnDorado 4 points5 points ago

No it's not, awful shit gets upvoted all the time by people who don't even read the comments.

[–]Se7en_Sinner 13 points14 points ago

As if "effing" didn't already give it away.

[–]Frankocean2 0 points1 point ago

For sure man, since when a grandpa having some fun is WTF worthy?. Op should feel bad ,sad and lonely.

[–]greatwallrevival 8 points9 points ago

Why is this WTF?

[–]AbigailRoseHayward 28 points29 points ago

I remember when I turned 9, and I had my birthday party at some place in a mall. My dad did this to me, and then sprayed choclate whipped cream on the bottom of my pants. I started crying because I really cared what I looked like in public, the boy that I liked was there, and he had just ruined my favorite dress. I locked myself in the bathroom. My dad ended up having to go and get me a new outfit.

[–]slightlyuseful 12 points13 points ago

It's tough being a kid.

[–]Joymachine 4 points5 points ago

my family has a pro wrestling/slapstick kinda humor too. And i always had a horrible temper. i recall my brother trying to dunk my face in the cake, them me tossing the cake onto him one year. Mom was pisssssed

[–]zarook 1 point2 points ago

That probably would have been my reaction too.

[–]beeleighve 6 points7 points ago

How is this WTF?

[–]tgalla12 5 points6 points ago

[–]Tonytarium 11 points12 points ago

As a Half-Mexican this is totally normal and encouraged.

[–]monoenojado 7 points8 points ago

As a whole mexican i too confirm this is normal.

[–]JubeltheBear 7 points8 points ago

as a lover of cake, I can't support this.

[–]I_kill_martians 3 points4 points ago

[–]Chaudaw 2 points3 points ago

WTF Stan Lee

[–]arrogantaroundpeople 1 point2 points ago

Is that Stan Lee?!?!

[–]pekoe_surprise 2 points3 points ago

It may be a tradition but did anyone notice that the only two people in the photo that seem amused are the two adults? The kids are all thinking back to their last birthday and how much it sucked to have their head forced into a cake by a much larger ape.

Some traditions deserve to die.

[–]Readit_to_me 7 points8 points ago

Every kid at that party is thinking, Your Grandpa is such a dick!

[–]h3rnam3isclair3 2 points3 points ago

My sister did this to me at a birthday party. But it wasn't my party. The girl whose birthday it really was started crying. We don't get invited to parties anymore.

[–]marlotte 2 points3 points ago

We did that for our friend's 11th birthday. But instead of laughing like people usually do, she started crying.

It was an ice cream cake that was right out of the freezer

[–]jenosaur98 2 points3 points ago

Happy Birthday to the Ground!!!

[–]Tusaa 2 points3 points ago

[–]pics-or-didnt-happen 2 points3 points ago

OP, I am honestly curious and have no plans to berate you or make you feel stupid.

What about this picture made you think it belonged in the WTF subreddit alongside men cutting their own penises off and eating them and porn videos of women being raped by clowns?

[–]plo83 2 points3 points ago

If someone did this to me, I would wait until I grew up and had enough money to go buy mice traps. I would put them all over their bed, get them drunk for their birthday, take them home, wait for the scream then say ''Remember when you dipped my face into cake?'' ''Happy birthday bitch''

[–]EManSavage -1 points0 points ago

Alternate explanation: Stan Lee is going senile.

The girl to the birthday victim's right is pretty stoned. Completely oblivious. No reaction at all.

My uncle used to do this to me every birthday until I was smart enough to look out for it. It's hilarious. All you do is tell the birthday boy/girl to smell the cake because you think it smells funny and then BAM smash their face in the cake. Have a camera ready for maximum LOLs.

[–]CountPanda 0 points1 point ago

Every birthday up until I was five I wanted so badly to just shove my face in the cake like they did on TV. I knew that my parents would never let me, so when they pulled out that Power Ranger's cake, I knew it was my moment, and I went for it. Parents weren't happy about it, but how mad can you be about at a silly kid on his birthday (I made sure 2/3s or more of the cake was not contaminated by my face).

Few five year olds are going to be upset about a face full of cake.
