Each country has its own norms and laws established for citizens to live peacefully and peacefully. To that end, in Norfolk County, East Anglia, police have banned shopkeepers and vendors from selling ketchup and eggs to teenagers.
The ban, as ridiculous as it may seem at first glance, has its logical explanation. For weeks at the county police, locals have been complaining daily about vandalism by young people. They sprayed ketchup and threw eggs at the doors, windows and cars of the civilian population.
Sergeant Andy Brown of the county police said no complaints had been received since the ban took effect. Interestingly, the problem was first understood not by the police, but by the staff of some of the famous supermarket chains. One of the owners said that groups of young people repeatedly tried to buy such goods in bulk.
The industry explains that the ban is not complete and yet there are teenagers who can freely buy eggs and ketchup, as long as they do not look suspicious. They explain that the restriction was introduced mainly to stop the attacks of young people with such antisocial behavior.
Of course, there are a number of other similar bans around the world. Some are really logical, like the one on the Island, but others are just inexplicable. Here are some of them:
Ketchup again - There were problems with ketchup in France in 2010. A ban on the sale of ketchup in school chairs in the country was then introduced. It aims to protect French cuisine from foreign invasion.
Polyethylene bags - The recently introduced conditional ban on the use of plastic bags was first adopted in the People's Republic of Bangladesh in 2002. And the reason - every citizen to pay for his purse.
Ban on baby walkers - In 2004, Canada passed a law banning walkers. According to local authorities, they affect motor skills and, most of all, the mental development of children.
