I Used Only BROWN Things For 24 Hours | The Ultimate Brown Challenge

Hello, fellow adventure-seekers and curious minds! 🎉 So, you know me — always looking for a fun and weird challenge to try out. Well, recently, I stumbled upon a challenge that was just too intriguing to ignore: 24 hours of ONLY brown things. You heard me right. I, Pari, decided to spend an entire day surrounded by nothing but brown items. This might sound simple to you, but trust me — it was a whole new level of weird.

Now, why brown, you ask? At first, it seemed like a no-brainer. Brown is everywhere! From coffee to chocolate to delicious baked goods, brown is the color of comfort. It’s cozy, it’s reliable, and honestly, who doesn’t love a warm mug of hot cocoa, right? But the reality of living in an entirely brown world is… well, let’s just say it wasn’t all chocolate and coffee. 😂

So, let’s break this down hour by hour:

Hour 1: Waking Up in the Brown Zone

The first thing I did after waking up was reach for my phone — and that’s when the challenge kicked in. You’d think my brown phone case would be the perfect start to my brown day… but no. I was holding a black phone! Cue dramatic music. I had to immediately swap it out for a brown one (thankfully I had one stashed away for emergencies). So, the moral of the story is: don’t sleep on your brown gear.

Next up was breakfast. I mean, come on, a challenge isn’t a challenge without some good food. So what did I do? I grabbed some brown cereal, brown milk, and a nice warm cup of coffee. I’ll admit — it tasted delicious, but there’s something oddly unsettling about eating a completely brown breakfast. If I didn’t know better, I would’ve thought it was all just one big brown mush. But, hey, the coffee made up for it.

Hour 3: Outfits and Footwear

Okay, so it’s time to dress for the day. You know that feeling when you just want to throw on something comfy and get going? Well, that’s what I wanted to do, but everything in my closet was the opposite of brown. Hello, colors!

After rifling through my wardrobe like a hyperactive squirrel, I found a brown hoodie. Phew, progress. But pants? I only had a pair of beige ones, and that’s not brown enough, folks. So, I did what any fashionista would do: I borrowed my mom’s brown leather pants. Yep, you read that right. Leather. And let me tell you, those pants? They were tighter than I expected — #awkward.

For shoes, I grabbed my trusty brown sneakers, and just like that, I was “brownified” from head to toe. I was ready to face the world… or so I thought.

Hour 6: The Great Brown Lunch Adventure

By lunchtime, my stomach was growling. I wanted something hearty, something that screamed “brown food” but didn’t totally gross me out. Enter: a delicious brown sandwich. Brown bread, brown turkey, brown cheese (yes, there’s brown cheese — who knew?), and a dash of brown mustard. I felt like a walking sandwich advertisement.

But, of course, you can’t just have a sandwich without a drink. So, I cracked open a bottle of brown soda (yes, brown soda is a thing, and it tastes like a weird mix of cola and weirdness). At this point, I was honestly starting to doubt my life choices.

Hour 8: The Brown Struggle Is Real

After lunch, I needed a break from the endless brown items. I went for a walk, but, oh no… everything outside was either too green, blue, or gray. I had to squint my eyes to focus on the brown tree trunks, the brown mud, and the brown birds. Brown was everywhere, but it was a constant struggle to find enough to satisfy my brown cravings.

Hour 12: Bathroom Break

Okay, let’s be real here for a second: when you’re doing a “color challenge,” certain daily activities become extremely complicated. Enter: the bathroom. I mean, I didn’t think it would be so hard to find only brown products! Toilet paper? White. Soap? White. Toothpaste? No, no, no. But then, finally, I found a brown bar of soap. Thank goodness! It was like a little victory.

And for my hair? A brown hair tie, of course. I mean, this challenge didn’t just include my clothes; it was a lifestyle change.

Hour 16: Social Media Struggles

At this point, I realized something tragic: I couldn’t post anything on social media. Every time I opened Instagram, I was surrounded by photos of people living their best colorful lives, and here I was, living in a world where my camera roll was just… brown. But hey, #BrownVibesMatter.

I tried to make the most of it by posting a boomerang with me sipping my brown drink. Naturally, the comments flooded in: “Is that even real coffee?” “Are you okay, Pari?” and my personal favorite, “That’s not even the color brown.”

Hour 20: Brown Entertainment

By now, the novelty of brown had worn off, and I wanted to enjoy something colorful. But instead, I was stuck in a world of brown movies and brown YouTube videos. I threw on a classic film, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, hoping to get a sweet fix of my beloved chocolate… but it was just one long candy-filled brown nightmare.

Even the entertainment world was forcing me into a brown box.

Hour 24: The Conclusion

Finally, the 24-hour mark came, and I could not wait to escape my brown prison. I had lived, eaten, and walked in brown for 24 hours, and I had learned some important lessons.

  1. The Color Brown is Everywhere — but too much of it is… well, overwhelming. Seriously, I started seeing brown everywhere. In the bathroom. In the trees. Even in my coffee (which isn’t surprising, but still).
  2. Variety is the Spice of Life — Too much of any one thing gets dull. At the end of the day, I missed color. The vibrant reds, greens, blues, and yellows we take for granted every day.
  3. Brown Food is Comforting — Until you’ve had too many brown sandwiches and brown sodas. After a while, I found myself dreaming of leafy greens and bright fruits. Ah, the beauty of a colorful salad.

In conclusion, I can confidently say that while I survived the brown challenge, I’ll never take color for granted again. The world is so much more fun when it’s full of vibrant hues. But hey, if you ever need a solid excuse to eat chocolate, drink coffee, and wear leather pants, then this challenge is for you.

Thanks for joining me on this wild, brown-filled ride. Let me know if you have any challenges in mind, and who knows? Maybe next time, I’ll take on a rainbow-colored day!

Until next time, stay colorful (or, you know, brownish if you’re feeling daring). ✌️
