Viral ‘bro code’ challenge puts befuddled fellas to the test: ‘I have no idea what’s going on’

Bro, no!
The standard barometer for spotting a “bro” is no longer about their video gaming stats or beer-chugging abilities.
Instead according to social media, the true test is to see how guys — and gals too — respond to and interact with a series of objects placed on a table, similar to what candidates poised to become the Dalai Lama do with sacred relics.
If you have the proper instinct, your mannerisms will plainly prove how much of a “bro” you are to the public.
The viral trend began when TikTokker and mom Jennifer Maxwell, known online as @splendidlysmittenjen, had quizzed her family by laying out an untied bread bag next to tongs, a baseball and an electric drill.
At first, her elementary-aged son and daughter didn’t prove knowledge of the proper masculine mechanics, but Maxwell’s college-aged cousin proved to be the bro incarnate in a clip seen nearly 5 million times.
