In fact, existing trends on social networks are very interactive and attract a huge audience, as they are a lot of fun. However, some go beyond and extrapolate the limits, bringing serious consequences. An example of these trends is the “sushi terrorism” challenge.
The challenge is to go to a sushi chain and practice unhygienic acts with other customers' food. Basically, the person has to lick their hands and pass it on the sushi plates and even the glasses that pass by the conveyor belts in restaurants. This “joke” went viral on the internet, and the results were not pleasant.
The main negative impact was in relation to one company. In a video, you can see a person committing "sushi terrorism".

Food & Life Companies Co Ltd, owner of the network where the video was recorded (Sushiro), saw its shares fall by 4.8%. In addition, with the great repercussion, there is a high probability of impact on the movement of the chain's restaurants, where sales may drop considerably for months.
Another video shows a young man playing Russian roulette with toothpicks, so he puts one of them in his mouth and returns it to the container.

Due to the events, companies started to make some changes. The place where the first video was recorded discarded the idea of putting the food on the mats. The solution found was to send images on the plates and then people choose, eliminating the risk of eating food adulterated by someone else.
In addition, contact with food on the conveyor belt will be reduced by installing acrylic plates. Furthermore, other companies endorse the need to punish those responsible and are identifying them with the help of technology.
