‘Orbeez Challenge’ Is Leaving Some People Injured by Water Pellets, Cops Warn

A new social media trend called the “Orbeez Challenge” is leaving some people injured after being hit with water pellets shot from airsoft guns. Orbeez are squishy beads that expand when mixed into water. Kids love playing with them, but now cops are saying they’re being weaponized. Ring video camera caught the moment that a mom pushing a stroller was shot at from a moving vehicle. The parents of a 10-year-old boy who was bruised after a random attack say “it’s terrifying that this is a trend.”
