What was intended to cause laughter turned into outrage on social media. A group of alleged ‘influencers’ from Cartagena are the target of criticism for a video they published in which they feed older adults and other people from the heroic city.
In the audiovisual, young people are seen buying soaps, chocolates, peanuts and other ingredients in one of the city’s supermarkets to make the lollipops and commit the joke. They took the soaps, put wooden sticks on them and covered them with chocolate and other toppings to simulate a real one.

They took to the streets, with cava in hand and the supposed product that they were going to make known. They asked people to try the palette and give their opinion, since according to the young people it was a new endeavor.
“The man is going to try our product for free as long as he tells us his opinion about what we manufacture,” one of the young people is heard saying.
Some of those who tried realized that they were not real popsicles but soap. Others, however, perhaps because they were being filmed, decided not to say anything.
This generated all kinds of rejection in social networks. Internet users assure that this act is a lack of respect towards the elderly and all the people who were given to try these palettes.

Users of the different social networks ask that these young people who played the joke be prosecuted.
The Mayor of Cartagena, through the Secretariat for Participation, rejected this type of act that “threatens the integrity of various citizens.”
“From the Salvemos Juntos a Cartagena government, we strongly reject the actions carried out by a group of digital influencers, who gave away lollipops made of soap for the consumption of older adults, street dwellers and young people in the city of Cartagena,” said the Administration.
Likewise, they made a “call for the responsibility and good sense of those who carry out these contents to have a positive impact on the city, as well as those who follow them not to disseminate these contents that threaten the integrity of our citizens.”
