A couple has been slammed online after they were seen licking a tub of ice cream before putting it back into the freezer at the store. Sometimes when going to a store it can be tricky to know what a product is going to taste like, so it can be a bit of a lucky dip as to whether you'll like it or not. Some places offer free samples of new products so you can determine whether you should make the purchase or not, but this isn't always the case. One thing you definitely should not be doing is opening a product, licking it, and then putting it back - but apparently one couple didn't get the memo. The initial video of Tequan Hines and his partner, Asia, from Portsmouth, Virginia, was uploaded to Instagram where it showed the couple daring each other to lick a tub of ice cream. [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/rahsh33m/status/1655735037134880769]] When Tequan is sure that nobody is looking, Asia opens the lid in front of the store freezer and takes a lick, before handing it to her partner to do the same. Clearly finding what they had done funny, they quickly put the ice cream back and ran away smiling - though they probably didn't expect the backlash. After the couple uploaded the footage to Instagram they were met with a wall of people berating them for their behavior, so they took the video down. Luckily for us, the footage was uploaded to Twitter and then further shared on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/NoahGetTheBoat/comments/13dikih/couple_filming_themselves_licking_ice_cream_at/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reddit</a>, and millions of people have now seen the video. Sharing the outrage on Reddit, one person penned: "Because of f***ers like these, I don’t buy food products without tamper-proof packaging." A second added: "The best thing about this is that they’ll be caught and charged with felonies and they posted their own evidence, there’s stupid then there’s these guys." A third said: "We've been over this when the dumb teens did it. This is jail time and they put the evidence on the Internet." <img class="size-full wp-image-1263210967" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-11-at-11.06.47.jpg" alt="" width="2518" height="262" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Reddit]] <img class="size-full wp-image-1263210968" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-11-at-11.07.55.jpg" alt="" width="2446" height="314" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Reddit]] <img class="size-full wp-image-1263210969" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-11-at-11.08.21.jpg" alt="" width="2494" height="318" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Reddit]] A trend of people doing exactly what this couple did occurred a while back, which resulted in a teenage girl being charged for her actions. As per <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1026556" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a>, before police knew the age of the girl they said she could face a second-degree felony charge of tampering with a consumer product which comes with a two to 20 year prison term as well as a hefty fine. The moral of this story - don't eat something until you buy it. <h6>Featured image credit: Justin Kase z12z / Alamy</h6>
