  • Question
    Why does this work? Because of friction?
    Community Answer
    It works because the little particles of water from your breath make it stick to your nose. The water particles works like glue.
  • Question
    Will it stick to my nose if my skin is oily?
    Community Answer
    It's possible, but the spoon is more likely to slip if your skin is oily.

      Tips

      • You can also graduate to larger spoons but this is even harder!
      • Practice makes perfect!
      • If you wish to go one-up on others who have learned the trick, try hanging a fork from your nose. Same technique applies. Don't be afraid to use a meat fork if that's what it takes to establish your dominance.
