Beware. In a survey, a higher percentage of kindergardners got this right than Harvard students. If you guess right, I will delete the comment and comment on your profile so it isn't spoiled for others. 1 ANSWER PER PERSON SO I CAN AVERAGE IT CORRECTLY!!!! NO SEARCHING IT PLEASE!!!!!!! SECOND ANSWERS WILL NOT COUNT AND WILL BE DELETED. I WANT TO GET THE AVERAGE RIGHT. I AM ALREADY HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS. Ok here goes...
I turn polar bears white
and I will make you cry.
I make guys have to pee
and girls comb their hair.
I make celebrities look stupid
and normal people look like celebrities.
I turn pancakes brown
and make your champagne bubble.
If you squeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.
What am I?

To the people who said I got the last line wrong, I changed it to make more sense. I used an article that said the answer was in fact pressure.
Line 1: Environmental pressure. Polar bears are yellow when they are born.
Line 2, 3, 4, 5, 6: Peer Pressure
Line 7 and 8: Air Pressure
Line 9: Anything that creates pressure. (balloon, etc.)
Line 10: All I can figure out is that it has to do with pressure in space.
Here's why some answers were wrong. Notice that all answers have to do with pressure.
You can't pop time, and it doesn't make celebrities look stupid. Same goes for the sun.
No matter what they say, Chuck Norris is not the answer to everything.
The only possible answer is the sun... Explain Polar bears, bubbles in Champagne, If you look at the sun, your eyes will pop. It can cook pancakes, etc. Polar Bears are only white because of the sun.
At first I thought it was water. o-e As a consideration, I re-read this riddle a couple of times as it is my first time hearing it. Time is of essence, I know for a thing that Guys can't hold their pee forever and Girls have to comb their hair as over time, it grows! Faster growing rate than guys hair, so time is my answer.
Technically speaking the others who said "time" didn't guess, they probably heard it from someone else too and were sure it was the correct answer.
Everyone who answered time probably shouldn't be included in your count.
