The Week contest: Foot PSA

This week's question: Alarmed podiatrists are urging young people not to participate in the #droppingthingsonmyfoot challenge, in which TikTok users record their reactions to dropping heavy objects — including air fryers, tables, and computer monitors — on their own feet. In seven or fewer words, come up with a PSA message warning teens against crushing their toes for likes and shares.
