    She is a juvy. Last I saw, they are not charging her as an adult.

    Her boyfriend, who was manning the camera, will be charged as an adult.
    Which leads me to wonder how come they're being charged when Ariana Grande got away with licking the donuts at a donut shop.
    Okay, the owner immediately pulled the donuts and replaced them, but nothing ever happened to HER.
    So, she may be a great singer, but all I can think of is 'she's the idiot who thought it was okay to lick the donuts'.

      AG didn't do it then promptly hide it back in the freezer. As you said, the owner promptly replaced them, and the worst she could be charged with is destruction of property, which is assuming that she didn't discreetly pay for the doughnuts afterwards.

      The numpties in the original post put the ice-cream back with the full expectation that someone else would buy the ice-cream and possibly eat it. That's deliberate food tampering, which is a much more serious offence.

        “Lick the ice cream” has become a social media challenge.

        Ugh. And I thought "gallon smashing" was stupid! These idiots will just keep coming up with new and improved stupidity!

        A bit of jail time will -- hopefully -- get through to them that it is NOT funny, it is stupid and a crime to tamper with a store's products.

          It's more than just a little jail time. It's counted as 'food tampering' which are a felony. Food tampering got the nasty upgrade to felony after some nutjobs went around adding things to Tylenol capsules. (Can't remember if there were deaths, but it was NOT a happy time for quite a few)

            If you're referring to the events in Chicago in 1982, Wikipedia says 7 died.

              *shudders* That's horrible. It reminds me of a case in the UK in the 1980's, when I was a kid. Someone managed to get broken glass, razor blades, and other dangerous items into jars of baby food. It was the primary reason behind the "button" you get on jars now; if the seal has been broken by someone taking the lid off, then the top of the lid pops up in a small dome. If it hasn't popped up then the seal (theoretically) hasn't been broken.

                The government has started to seriously clamp down on food tampering in NZ, after earlier this year someone was sticking needles into strawberries and almost crippled the NZ fruit industry. Supermarkets lost a ton of money having to destroy the stock due to the risk of it being tampered with.

                  IIRC, that was an ex-Detective Inspector called Witchelow.
                  I believe he got 9 years in pokey for it, too

                    There were at least 3 deaths, and the first tamperer was never caught. Then some copycats decided to use the idea to get rid of annoying people in their lives and blame it on tainted medications. Happened at least twice, and both people who did it got caught and were convicted of murder. I remember when it first happened in the late 1980s.

                      On the ice cream: All correct, from what I've seen. The company is now working on setting up all of its products such that they will have a glued-in plastic seal that must be removed before using the product.



                      On another food tampering note: Remember the 80's era scare about razor blades being embedded in fresh fruit at Halloween? AFAIK, it turned out to be one guy who was doing it to his own kids; the fruits were never distributed. That being said, some people went on to do this sort of crap for real as a result.

                        Over here in the UK all food products have some kind of seal that needs to be broken before the food can be eaten. Tubs of ice-cream have a tab attached to a strip of plastic that needs to be pulled off before you can remove the lid, and the smaller pint-sized tubs in cardboard have a foil cap under the easily-removable cardboard lid that has to be peeled off before you can get to the ice-cream. Since pulling off the foil makes a bit of a mess of the cardboard rim it's fairly obvious if it's been pulled back and glued back on.

                        None of these are completely full-proof for someone who's really determined to do harm, but it does make casual tampering (such as by the original idiot) very obvious.
