This week people have been going mad for the ‘I would for a grand’ competition run by Yubl.
The competition only launched on Sunday and has already had countless entries from students willing to skydive naked or shave off their hair for a £1,000 end of term blowout.
Not only are people sending in their weird and wonderful entries but they’re getting their friends to vote for them as well. How far would you let a friend go for a grand? Would you let them lick a giraffe’s tongue or down an entire bottle of Tabasco?
We scrolled through the app to find out how daring people are willing to go for a grand.
