Kids dress up as grandmas to get alcohol in ridiculous TikTok prank TikTok\/claare__18[jwplayer ksH6zuKH]Teenagers are using mandatory mask policies as a way to illegally purchase booze in a new TikTok prank phenomenon. With the drinking age being 21 in the United States and 19 in Canadian provinces, teenagers looking to acquire booze have found a solution, thanks to face coverings. By dressing up as elderly grandmothers with the help of Halloween masks, plus the addition of standard medical masks, store employees can have a hard time distinguishing if the outfit is real. Plus, it\u2019s very unlikely that staff at a store would ask someone who appears to be a grandmother for their ID. While some videos have since been taken down or privatized, the most popular clip highlighting this trend comes from user \u2018claare__18,\u2019 who showcases her friend dressed in a fully granny getup. \u201cGranny be looking a little different here!\u201d she captioned along with some beer mug emojis. In the clip, the friend wears stereotypical grandmother attire with a headscarf and sweater alongside the masks. After going to a 7-Eleven in the costume, she\u2019s able to go and acquire alcohol. It\u2019s not just the elderly masks that are being used, either; even standard face masks are being used in combination with fake IDs to purchase alcohol. In a \u201cPSA\u201d uploaded by aamandaward, the user explained that teens could use their fake IDS \u201cas much as possible,\u201d because if you wear a mask, people who check IDS can\u2019t see their full face. Obviously, this trend is quite dangerous \u2013 not to mention illegal \u2013 so it\u2019s not advised that you try it out for yourself, as it could have some serious consequences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
