It sounds questionable and/or weird, but it’s everything you’ve ever wanted to watch and more.

Like most trends, we have no idea why it’s happening, but we do know why people are hooked: The videos are hardcore mesmerizing.

Which is great for you, because we found some of the very best #bundrop videos on the web. Just be careful, because once you start, you’ll probably be sucked into a rabbit hole for an hour.
