The answer is "NO"

I didn't read all the other posts because there are WAY too many so I don't know if someone said this.  But the answer is "No, I don't know the riddle." / "I don't know." / JUST Plain "NO."

The end of the riddle asks this: "Can you guess the riddle?"

The person who made it probably thought of the most outrageous stuff so that way there was no answer that could make full sense for each one.  A kindergardener could get the answer of the riddle so fast because after being asked, "Can you guess the riddle?" They say "no."  As most riddles go, there is a trick to the wording. This riddle doesn't ask, "Can you guess the answer to the riddle?" or "What is the answer?" It just asks if you can guess it. The reply needs a YES or NO type of answer. People from Harvard would try SO HARD to think of something that matches that they would not say "no"  if someone asked "can you guess the riddle?"

pressure doesn't work, because polar bears AREN'T white.  in fact, their hair is clear, each hair a little tube that fills with and holds water.  the water against the skin gets heated by the bear's body heat and held there, acting very effectively like a wetsuit.

i'm pretty sure there's no answer to this riddle, and someone has hoaxed us all pretty good.

The answer is "no"... read the last line of the riddle. The answer to the riddle is "no". There rest is just a bunch of stuff to distract you from the last line. I did google it and I did get results. That's all there is to it.

I turn polar bears white (polar bears are not white.  their hair is translucent, and because of the thick layer, appear to be white.)

and I will make you cry. (pressure makes sense here, but not really)
I make guys have to pee (why only guys?  pressure also makes sense here)
and girls comb their hair. (girls comb their hair because they want it to look good.  you could say peer pressure i guess)
I make celebrities look stupid (celebrities dont need any help looking stupid)
and normal people look like celebrities. ()
I turn pancakes brown (a griddle?  heat?  yeah, it's definitely not pressure)
and make your champagne bubble. (pressure?  no....champagne bubbles because of the fermentation of sugars by yeast, which produces CO2.  you can argue that pressure keeps the CO2 in the champagne, but not really because champagne stays bubbly for a good while after a bottle of it is uncorked)
If you squeeze me, I'll pop. (pressure makes no sense at all here.  you cant squeeze pressure.  the answer to this line would have to be a solid material object like a balloon, not an idea or a force like pressure)
If you look at me, you'll pop. (humans dont pop)
Can you guess the riddle?

Pressure is wrong, mainly because it doesn't really make perfect sense for any of these, and you can't change it to "Peer Pressure" for one or two lines.  that's like having "what's black and white and red all over?" and then saying the answer is "tar, snow, and blood"
The answer is "no" and there is no room for discussion.

you guys are retarded

THANKYOU! someone finally knows it is NO! this damn pressure nonsense is driving me crazy!  if u find something that fits, congradulations, but be ABLE to back it up! also the whole kindergartener thing makes sense because lil kids answer most questions with yes or no, and the last question IS a yes or no question! "can u guess the riddle?" NO U CANT! its NO. NO. NO.

you really think that 84% of kindergarten students came up with pressure?  lol...dude it's a fin riddle with no answer...they're not out interviewing harvard grads with this stupid riddle.  even if they are...they look for the answer...like this joker that thinks that squeezing a can makes it pop under pressure...k even if it did explode, the answer to that part would be a can...not pressure.  pressure doesn't pop, the can does...from pressure.  and teens dont brush their hair cuz of peer pressure...lol, i dont think u quite understand what peer pressure is if you think that...like i said b4...if they actually questioned ppl with  this (which they didn't) the harvard grads would actually try to figure it out, and the kids would just say, i dont know, and not care about it.  neway, to sum up, no answer, stupid riddle, and another stupid myspace chain letter thing designed to make people post stupid things, in search for an answer...or a life that doesn't suck forever more, because you didn't post a chain bulletin (which i oh so hate)  You are never going to get an answer in your inbox, and you are never going to have a bad life...because you didn't post something.  I figure people would have figured this out by now...

I read the first 10 pages and then skipped to the end.. last I saw the kids were saying ducks and glass. I  figured if somebody had said it, the statistics would becaome 50/50. I wasn't just trying to repeat a post.
