Chinese women wrap banknotes around their wrists in newest body trend meme

Whatever happened to the good old 30-day squat challenge?

Fast on the heels of the widely criticised "iPhone 6 knees" and "A4 waist" body trends, is the "100 yuan wrist" meme.

The challenge requires a woman to wrap a 100 yuan ($15) banknote, measuring 155mm by 77mm, around her wrist without having any gaps showing. If she passes the test, she's considered to be skinny enough.

Some netizens who remain unfazed by the critics have even gone a step further by using smaller notes to complete the challenge.

This meme, like the ones before it, has copped a lot of flak for encouraging poor body image in women. However, many of the comments left on these pics and videos, also show these women egging each other on.

When will the madness stop?
