What are the youths of America up to these days? Well, some of 
them have taken to attempting to ruin our grocery-shopping 
experiences by pretending to take nasty spills in the bread 
aisle while holding a gallon of milk or juice in each hand.

"Gallon smashing," as it's called, is something of a new trend 
on YouTube, and it turns out its origins can be traced to that 
great bastion of intellectualism and creativity called Fairfax 
County, Va. Three teenagers from Vienna came up with the stunt, 
and last week posted a video compilation of themselves wreaking 
wet and stupid havoc at several area grocery stores.

In it, the three teens take turns falling down and 
simultaneously either throwing the milk or juice jugs to the 
ground or smashing them against the wall.

Seconds later, they are scrambling to get up from their milky, 
juicy messes with surrounding customers, unaware that it is a 
prank, offering aid.

But in reality, these three jerks are just making a mess and 
leaving it for hardworking�and probably underpaid�store 
employees to clean up. Meanwhile, customers who happen to be in 
proximity of these "gallon smashing" scenes often wind up 
getting splashed as the kids come crashing down. There's no 
indication that these bozos are offering to pay the resultant 
dry-cleaning bills.

Fox 5 claims to have caught up with one of the teens behind the 
video, but he would not go on the record. Still, other grocery 
store patrons were not enthusiastic:

One of the teens spoke to us by phone saying he and his cousins 
are wannabe actors, consider themselves entertainers and merry 
pranksters. Gallon Smashing is just one of about 20 videos they 
have produced.

"I've kind of heard about these. That's terrible," one woman 
told us.

"It's disturbing to see the lack of empathy that they have for 
the people that have to clean up their mess," added another man 
shopping at the Giant Food store.

The three youths' YouTube channel, The Chaizy Channel, features 
other videos including pranks such as asking National Mall 
visitors to take their photos only to drop their iPhones before 
handing it to the person.

The original "Gallon Smashing" video is temporarily offline, 
though other versions are available. Meanwhile, the prank has 
already won a few copycats. So, until further notice, if you see 
a teenager sprawled on the floor of a supermarket after 
appearing to drop his groceries, just leave him there and don't 
offer any assistance.
