A Riddle that took Facebook by Storm

It made me curious why many of my Facebook friends changed their Facebook profile picture into a giraffe lately. I read the comments and found out about the Giraffe Riddle.

The riddle actually started from a Youtube video posted by video blogger Andrew Strugnell. He gave a riddle that people need to answer correctly or change their profile picture into a giraffe as a consequence.

The Giraffe Riddle goes like this:

It’s 3am, the doorbell rings and you wake up. Unexpected visitors!
It’s your parents and they are here for breakfast.
You have strawberry jam, honey, wine, bread and cheese.


What is the first thing you open?


There are two accepted answers for the Giraffe Riddle. 

  1. Eyes – you were sleeping and you woke up therefore opening your eyes first.
  2. Door – you were already awake so you either open the door of your room or of your house to let your visitors in.
Due to the popularity of the riddle, Strugnell said he will post another riddle every Saturday. I’m sick of the giraffes on Facebook so please answer the riddle correctly. I didn’t receive the riddle and I’m not bound by the deal of not posting the answer.
