The Kool-Aid Man Challenge has re-emerged, mimicking the iconic mascot's antics from commercials, leading to significant property damage in Staten Island and a wider area from 2021 to 2023. Participants yell "Oh yeah!" as they crash through fences and walls, leaving homeowners like Ben Helwa facing costly repairs. Notably, incidents have been reported not only in Staten Island but also on Long Island, raising concerns and leading to criminal investigations as property damage over $250 is classified as a felony in New York.
"I didn't find it so funny waking up finding out I have big cost ahead to repair my fence," he told the outlet.
The destructive TikTok challenge requires teens mimic the popular Kool-Aid commercials, in which the bright-red drink's pitcher mascot bursts through walls and fences.
