LOS ANGELES – The latest sensation on the Internet proves that we can not have beautiful things.

In case you missed the internet drama of last week, video A woman licking a jar of Blue Bell ice cream in a shop and putting it back in the freezer became viral and caused a new "challenge".

Unlike other Internet challenges, which are often fun activities and sometimes sensitize to a cause, the Ice Cream Challenge, which encouraged people to violate ice cream in different ways, went into control to ensure that Another person did not ruin the frozen dessert. you are about to buy. Users use Twitter on the hashtag #icecreamchallenge to show how their ice cream buying habits have changed.

Unfortunately, others use it as inspiration to play with ice cream in stores, then put it back on the shelves.

In response, some stores have taken drastic measures to ensure that their ice cream is protected from people who do not know how to behave.

If you're thinking of joining … uh … "fun", make sure you buy ice cream first, because the woman who inspired this mess is now at risk of being sentenced to 20 years in prison.

We shout: A woman caught by a tape pissing in a bucket of ice cream, spitting ice cream, according to the police
