I need help with this riddle

I got this in an email and I am so stumped!!! Its driving me nuts. Anyone here have an idea? It this just a mean joke that the riddle doesn't have an answer??? lol

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 champane bubble.
If you sqeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.
Can you guess the riddle?


97% of Harvard graduates can not figure this riddle out, but 84% of kindergarten students were able to figure this out in 6 minutes or less. Can you guess the correct answer?

One of my friends says the sun, but I don't think its that. I'm stumped as well.

I know the answer.... shall I say the answer or should I wait for a while so others can have a guess?

It's got to be pressure.

Polar bears are white because the pressure at the poles is low, so they have to be able to absorb heat.

Pressure makes you cry if it's too much.

Pressure in your bladder makes you have to pee.

Peer pressure makes girls comb their hair...Otherwise we wouldn't bother!

Celebrities usually crack under pressure.

Many normal people will shine under pressure.

Pancakes turn brown thanks to pressure generated by the heat.

Champagne will bubble until the pressure of the carbonation has disappeared.

If you squeeze something under pressure, BAM, there it goes.

If you are "looking" at pressure, you're in it, like in an airplane, and your ears pop.
not sure it's 100% correct--Polar Bears may be be white due to evolutionary pressure-not my answer anyway--just cut and pasted the best answer I could find.

id ont think kids in kindergarten would know what pressure means

haha, I posted this in a riddle thread on another forum that I post on and now they all want to know the answer too!

Actually, white reflects light and heat...black absorbs light and heat.

I thought water, at first, but that doesn't make sense. another possible was bleach, but that's rubbish, too.

So it's the sun, maybe...but that doesn't really fit.

I dunno! This is hard...and it's driving me crazy, now.

nothing? <<<answer

I heard a similar riddle to which the answer was "nothing", but that doesn't seem to fit this one. Hmmmmm

I think the answer is "no."

But why would pressure only make the guys have to pee?
