British children suddenly buy beans en masse | Abroad

Shops are officially asked to monitor whether young people buy large quantities of canned food. Parents should also pay attention to what is in their offspring’s shopping bag.

The problem is ‘beaning‘, a ‘bizarre new trend’ that emerged on the social medium TikTok, according to the Manchester Evening Standard. Several videos are circulating, accompanied by the #beanbanditz designation.

When ‘beaning’, children smear cans of beans on driveways, doors and cars – which, of course, is filmed. According to the police, this is potentially dangerous for dogs that will eat the gunk.

Eggs

“Police have been made aware of a new trend by young people of throwing beans over property, very similar to throwing eggs,” said a spokesman for the West Yorkshire Police.

“If you have children at home, please pay attention as soon as you see jars of beans disappearing in your family.” Police say they remain vigilant. Here and there on social media there is the sound that it is an exaggerated convulsive reaction to a prank.
