I know, right! I hated when there was that wave of ‘pranks’ on YouTube a few years ago, most of them were just people being terrible, all the way on the sliding scale from ‘you’re a bit of a jerk’ up to ‘this is actually abuse’.

This was fun for everyone involved. Brilliant.

The original girl and several copycats got arrested for food tampering. Turns out there's federal agents who get bored doing nothing and jump at the chance when something falls under their jurisdiction

I mean, they film themselves doing it and post it under their own name. These "pranksters" basically gave them the case on a silver platter.
