A French teenager who allegedly licked a straw from an orange juice vending machine before putting it back into its dispenser has been charged with committing mischief and being a public nuisance in Singapore.
Didier Gaspard Owen Maximilien, 18, had uploaded a video on Instagram of himself performing the act, according to local reports. The video was later widely circulated.
The company that owns the vending machine, iJooz, says it replaced all 500 straws in the machine's dispenser after the alleged incident.
If found guilty of both charges Maximilien faces a maximum jail sentence of more than two years and thousands of dollars in fines.
The alleged incident took place on 12 March at a shopping centre in Singapore.
