Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council said: “In recent years it has become popular for pupils leaving school after GCSEs and A-Levels to take part in activities such as throwing flour and eggs at each other, members of public and cars.
“Although this is usually only meant as fun, it can be intimidating and upsetting for the victims of these attacks, especially for older and vulnerable members of the community.
“Eggshells can also scratch the paintwork on cars and leave streets looking unclean, as well as causing a mess someone could potentially slip on.”
Those who look under 18 should not be sold the items, it said.
