A French teenager has been charged with committing mischief and public nuisance in Singapore after posting a video on social media of himself licking a straw from an orange juice vending machine and then putting it back.

Didier Gaspard Owen Maximilien, 18, was charged on 24 April and has not entered a plea, the city-state’s largest English-language newspaper, the Straits Times, reported. He allegedly committed the offence at a shopping mall on 12 March, and his video spread rapidly when it surfaced, the report said.
