A Spanish YouTube star who pranked a homeless man by filling an Oreo cookie with toothpaste was sentenced on Friday to 15 months in prison and now owes $22,300 to his victim, The New York Times reported Sunday.
A Barcelona judge also ordered that Kanguhua Ren's YouTube and other social media accounts be shut down for five years. The 20-year-old Ren, who goes by ReSet on the video-sharing website, was born in China but has lived in Barcelona for most of his life. He is unlikely to serve any jail time because Spanish law typically waives prison sentences for first-time offenders who commit non-violent crimes.
Ren posted a since-deleted video to his YouTube channel in January 2017 in which he is seen filling Oreo cookies with toothpaste and repackaging them as a prank to impress his 1.2 million followers. The prank took a turn for the worse when he handed the cookie, along with 20 euros, to a homeless man identified as Gheorge L., who proceeded to eat them and vomit afterward.
In the video, Ren can be heard contemplating whether he has gone too far with the prank.
"But look at the positive side; this will help him clean his teeth,” he said. “I think he hasn't cleaned them since he became poor."

Stupid and cruel. Social media really brings out the worst in some people.
Fluoride is a toxic poison. Not cool.
What a stupid, asinine thing to do to someone.
/S
I heard about this over a year ago. There is a very dangerous streak of cruelty in this young man. Sadistic, in a way. I think you will be hearing about him in the future.
“As you did to the least of these...”
They have Oreos in Barcelona?
Mmmm. Toothpaste Oreo.
Dumb prank but the 20K award that will likely be blown on booze and drugs is way overboard. Should just get community service and a stern warning to not do it again unless there was something like an allergy involved
Why not eat oreos before going for a dental cleaning .
What? Spanish judges ran out of Muslims driving trucks, cars, etc. so they can mow scores of citizens in a couple the streets of once peaceful cities, they must also go after incredibly cruel jerks like to “make an example of?”
The homeless men I have known would not survive having $20,000 in their hot little hands.
Read the warning label on your toothpaste. You are directed to call Poison Control if you ingest more than a tiny bit. Fluoride was used in old fashioned rat poison.
If anyone thinks this is funny, read the warning on a tube of toothpaste. I have a country neighbor who has used toothpaste to kill mice ( or so he claims).
Yep a little dab will do ya

What an idiot.
