The hell is this stupid "ice cream licking" thing about?

[Prowler]

Apparently in USA there's a stupid challenge like this going on lately where adults pick up ice cream packages in stores, lick them and put them back... and UPLOAD A VIDEO OF THE ACT ON SOCIAL MEDIA. WTF?! First of all, that is gross as hell. Second, why ruin ice cream?!

I thought the tide pod eating challenge was moronic enough already, but at least it seemed to be done by kids only. Really dumb kids, sure, but what excuse do ADULTS have to go into a store and ruin sealed ice cream for other customers?

Seriously, can someone please explain to me what this **** is all about?!

[Powder]

They're not really "adults". Legally, sure, but maturity wise? No way. Just a bunch of self absorbed brainlets who will do anything for attention on social media.

That reminds me, I have some birthday cake ice cream in the freezer. Sure, it's only noon, but I'm going to have some. First meal of the day is most important, lads.

And they're dumb enough to upload it and show their face to the world. It's like they're unaware that they can get arrested for doing something like that.

I hope anyone who does that gets a huge fine at the very least.

Heard about this the other day, some lady who sounds like she has mental issues anyhow supposedly did it (plus rubbing her unwashed hands in it post-bathroom visit?) and some guy was a copy cat? Something like that. I hope it's not really a fad. Pretty nasty. Anyone who'd do that has issues to some degree either way.

Luckily it's pretty easy to avoid just by having the good sense to make sure what you buy is still sealed up and unopened. If someone is too absent minded to ever notice, well...

That's why I buy Ice Cream sandwiches.

Also, watch out for the Pop Tarts. I heard Donnie got a part-time job at Walmart.

Food tampering is a serious felony. The Challenge is a hoax (not that folks won't do it).

[FredWolfLeonardo]

I hope the lickers get arrested.

Good thing I don't eat ice cream or any sweets.

If you think this is bad, though, you should see what all the dudes would do to all the frozen meats in the freezer room when I worked at McDonald's 20 years ago. I heard it was pretty commonplace, too.

What did they do?

[Andrew NDB]

What did they do?

Open up the boxes and pee all over them.

...I was afraid it would be something like that.

Why did they even do that, anyway?

It was considered the male employee bathroom.

Damn.

I'm glad I don't eat McD's ever. Although I wonder if that's common in McD's outside of USA as well.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

No, it most definitely is not, not even here. Most McD employees have the good sense not to do crap like that, since a) they can easily get caught (especially now when most stores have cameras everywhere), and b) hiring in most stores is a bit more strict now. Getting caught would not only mean being fired, but criminally prosecuted as well. And let's just say that the only type of people who might do that crap are already likely on the way out for other things, like getting high or theft of food. In 8 yrs at a McDs, I've never once seen, or heard of, anyone actually doing crap like that. Sex in the walk-in, maybe, but not peeing or *ahem* on the meat. And those idiots got fired, too.

Well, to be fair, Andrew did say "20 years ago". So around 1998-1999, then. Back then there probably weren't cameras everywhere and people sure as hell didn't carry phones with powerful cameras nor were there things like FB or Twitter. So even if someone caught the employees "in the act" they didn't have a way to prove it.

[Mr Salk]

As long as they cook-it-off it should be fine.

Knowingly, No.
But your average Chipotle might be just as bad from a cleanliness standpoint.

We don't have Chipotle here in Europe. At least not in my country.

But OK, sure, some places I've eaten at might have shady hygiene practices, but don't make me think about it, please. :lol:

[Refractive Reflections]

Good to see society having to make police shift their manpower to protect ice cream, rather than use their time effectively in saving lives:

Ah heck, in Keller??? KELLER??? It's barely five-to-ten minutes for me to drive there! I probably can take a guess at which store that is!


I can tell you though, my whole stomping ground, Keller included, has a pretty low crime rate. And with Keller being one of the slightly more well-off areas as well, I'm not surprised that this would happen. Probably just missing a few speeding tickets/minor driving violations. There's a reason why so many people are moving into this area; it's wildly safe. I'd go as far to even say this is a publicity photo. It even says in an article that THEY did it as a joke. My guess is that they went in to do some shopping for the station and decided to take a quick snap.
Because...fvcking Keller.


It's probably in that nice Kroger too...

[Coola Yagami]

Last time I eat at McDonald's....

But then again if you really think about it, you'd never eat out anywhere. Hell, not even buying fresh food to make your own meal is safe cause who knows what's done to it before you buy it.

Maybe I'll just starve to death.
