"Kool-Aid Man" Trend is Causing Broken Fences in Nebraska!
Sheriff’s deputies in Nebraska issued criminal mischief citations to nine kids last week after they ran and jumped into fences in neighborhoods.
This new trend is apparently inspired by the Kool-Aid Man. Kids are watching old Kool-Aid commercials and they are trying to replicate them. In the commercials, the Kool-Aid Man bursts through a wall and brings the sweet, refreshing drink to thirsty children.
Sheriff’s Sgt. Blake Raughton said one neighbor’s surveillance video shows three vehicles stop in a street and about nine teens get out. They talk and laugh for a bit, then most run into the fences, return to the vehicles and leave.
The juveniles were issued citations.
Parents talk to your kids and tell them this new trend doesn't need to happen.
