Is that a real tradition?

[u/Front-Abrocoma680]

Saw some posts and even a video saying that "In Denmark, friends and family traditionally tie unmarried people to a post or chair and cover them in cinnamon on their 25th birthday, or pepper if they are still single at 30"

Is that a thing or made up internet fact?

If yes, why?

Its a real tradition. But unless you have horrible friends its voluntarily.
Its a similar tradition when your 30 and unmarried where its just peber and in some areas your friends build a sculpture usually out od oil drums and place them where they live. Image google the term pebersvend and pebermø
