And finally... final straw

A French teenager has been charged with public nuisance and mischief in Singapore after allegedly filming himself licking a straw before putting it back in a vending machine and posting the footage online.

The 18-year-old, who is understood to be studying in Singapore, could be jailed for more than two years on a charge of committing mischief as well as one of public nuisance.

Machine operator iJooz was forced to replace all 500 straws that were in the dispenser.
