Every country and every territory on this planet have their own rules & rituals as per their cultural belief. Humans made lots of rituals from the beginning of their journey on earth. From jungle life to civilized life style humans developed their culture, their rituals, but still some country men have nurturing their age-old rituals which in today's world looks very bizarre.

Every country on earth have its signature rituals which sometimes, normally looks very weird but still it add some fun in our daily routine life. Recently I have read about a bizarre ritual of Denmark. The country Denmark proper is the southernmost of the Scandinavian countries which is consists of a peninsula, An archipelago of 445 named island and Jutland and all are characterized by low elevation and a temperate climate, Denmark is actually lies southwest of Sweden and the south of Norway which is why this country has a beautiful nature.

This Denmark is one of the most economically and socially developed countries in the world, they enjoy a high standard of living like education, health-care, protection of civil liberties, democratic governance, prosperity, human development, and they also have the world's highest social mobility, high level of income equality with lowest perceived level of corruption in the world, with all this eye bobbing fact this country is ranked as eleventh most developed in the world, this Denmark has an outstanding mark on world map but still have a weird ritual in this 22 century's world.

When you are in Denmark and you turn 25, if you're unmarried, it is customary here for your friends and family to cover you in the spice, the cinnamon powder. Not just this, to make it worst after covering people from head to toe they even splashing with water so the cinnamon sticks better and you'll get more trouble.

It may look funny, bizarre but the fact is in Denmark being unmarried on your 25th birthday gives people social license to pelt you with cinnamon and you have to tolerate them.
