A video of a man spitting in a jar with the label ‘Sweet Tea’ and placing it back on a supermarket rack is making the rounds across social media platforms.<\/p>\n

Sagar Kumar (@KumaarSaagar), who is associated with the propaganda outlet Sudarshan News, shared the video with a one-line caption. What he wrote in Hindi can be translated as, “The practice of ‘spitting’ has reached foreign lands.” (archive link<\/a>)<\/p>\n

A Veiled Attack Against Muslims<\/h4>\n

The readers must note that the line \u201c\u0925\u0942\u0915\u0928\u0947\u201d \u0915\u093e \u0938\u093f\u0932\u0938\u093f\u0932\u093e \u0935\u093f\u0926\u0947\u0936\u0940 \u0927\u0930\u0924\u0940 \u0924\u0915 \u092a\u0939\u0941\u0901\u091a \u0917\u092f\u093e \u0939\u0948” has a subtext. It alludes to the ‘thook jihad’ conspiracy theory<\/a> propagated by a section of the Right Wing ecosystem. On several occasions in the past, false social media claims that some Muslim person\/s has\/have spat in some food or drink to contaminate it have gone viral. The related fact checks by Alt News can be read here<\/a>. The narrative possibly reached its peak (or nadir) when it was claimed by some BJP leaders in February 2022 that actor Shah Rukh Khan had spat on Lata Mangeshkar\u2019s mortal remains at the latter’s last rites. Khan was actually offering dua (prayer) by blowing into the air, which is a common practice among Muslims in the Indian subcontinent. This particular Alt News fact check can be read here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In November 2021, News18 senior editor Aman Chopra hosted a segment on his prime-time show ‘Desh Nahin Jhukne Denge’ titled ‘Khane mein thookna, jihad ya jahalat? (Spitting in food, jihad or barbarism?)’. Stringing together a number of videos and amplifying disinformation around them, he put forward the ‘thook jihad’ conspiracy theory. In January 2022, the News Broadcasting and Digital Standards Authority came down heavily on the channel and the anchor<\/a> for ‘targeting of a particular community’ in a ‘completely unacceptable’ manner. It also asked the channel to take down the show within seven days.<\/p>\n

Video was Viral in 2020 as Well<\/h4>\n

The same video was widely shared in 2020 with the claim that this was an attempt to spread the coronavirus. Below is a screenshot of a fact-check request on the official Alt News mobile application.<\/p>\n

\"\"The video was not limited to the Indian social media ecosystem but was circulating in other parts of the world as well.<\/p>\n

\n

This is not normally what I’ll share on my page.\ud83d\ude25but I am lost for words. I cried all night thinking of who will pick up that bottle. It baffled me to see that some people still don’t realise what the world is going through right now\u203c\ufe0f.Please share\u203c\ufe0f this guy must be arrested \ud83d\ude25 pic.twitter.com\/JyuUUtGJSL<\/a><\/p>\n

Fact Check<\/h4>\n

A keyword search – ‘man spits tea bottle’ – led to several reports from July 2019. According to\u00a0ABC News<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>“A 15-year-old boy in Odessa, Texas, was arrested and charged after he was caught on supermarket surveillance footage spitting into an Arizona tea bottle then putting it back on the shelf.” The report added that the incident took place in the Albertsons supermarket.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Indian media had also reported<\/a> on the incident last year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As per international reports<\/a>, this unhygienic phenomenon started with a minor girl in Texas who licked a tub of ice-cream in a supermarket and put it back in the store freezer. Several copycats followed, as per metro.co.uk<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

To sum up, a video of a teenager in Texas spitting in a jar and putting it back on the supermarket shelf has been was picked up by several users at the time of the coronavirus outbreak. The incident, unarguably unhygienic, was not related to the pandemic. The video is again viral now in June 2023 with a communal subtext.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
