Stories of Tie Up Games

This video is one of the best examples I have seen of the Danish 25th birthday cinnamon ritual.

I wonder what’s the story behind the cinnamon tradition. Does anyone know?

The cinnamon represents a symbol of fertility. The custom is traditionally reserved for those who are still unmarried by their 25th birthday as a way to bring good luck in finding a mate, but judging from the number of videos posted my guess is it’s too much fun to pass up no matter what their friend's relationship status is.

I’ll be posting more birthday traditions involving TUGs from Japan, Indonesia and Portugal.

A slightly odd one but they all seem to be having a lot of fun and I'm certainly not complaining about the videos.

In Brazil there is something similar in the birthday party but not always the person is tied, fortunately when I was caught I ended up tied

I would love to have a 25 year old danish girl ziptied to a pole (hands behind back + ankles ziptied to pole) Do they get left there?

Fun looking tradition, wish we had that here. The people in those videos go all-out with the tying, too.
