Videos of kids walking into grocery stores and tampering with food is a new trend on the internet and it's disgusting.

Three of these videos have garnished tens of millions of views and have people alarmed that they may have eaten something someone has licked.  In one example, a woman opens some ice cream, licks it and puts it back for someone else to purchase.

The ice cream licker was identified and could face up to 20 years in prison and/or a $20,000 fine.  According to the NBC Dallas affiliate:

She could face a second-degree felony charge of tampering with a consumer product, the Lufkin police department said in an email statement to NBC News. The charge comes with a two- to 20-year prison term and up to $10,000 in fines, according to Texas state penal code.

And in another video, a kid opens a bottle of mouthwash, uses it and spits it back into the bottle and returns it to the shelf.  Gross!

And finally, we have another ice cream bandit, with this little punk who eats some ice cream with his hands and then puts it back.

Ya'll disgusting, Gen Z.
