Blue Bell, cops close in on solving viral ice cream licking prank |
2019-07-05 |
[NYPOST] Ice cream maker Blue Bell says it’s found the exact tub of ice cream that was licked ‐ and then put back on the shelf ‐ by a frozen-treat fiend in a now-viral video. The dairy detectives pored over the social media post and narrowed their search to a Walmart in Lufkin, Texas, where they believe the crime against chew-manity went down. "Based on security footage, the location and the inspection of the carton, we believe we may have recovered the half gallon that was tampered with," Blue Bell said, according to local station KTV-TV. "Out of an abundance of caution, we have also removed all Tin Roof half gallons from that location." Local authorities, conducting their own investigation, confirmed a woman was caught on store surveillance video tonguing a half-gallon tub last Friday at about 11 p.m. "Once her identity is verified, detectives will proceed with getting a warrant for her arrest on a charge of second-degree felony tampering with a consumer product," the Lufkin Police Department said in a Wednesday night Facebook post. |

#5 Police have identified the perp as a female juvenile. Her older boyfriend was with her. Case to be turned over to juvenile justice as she is under 17 years old. I would recommend that Bluebell sue her and her boyfriend for damages. |

#4 Not up there with the Tylenol poisonings but the law treats it the same. As it should. |

#3 Even animals have good taste in ice cream. They don't taste good in ice cream. |

#2 Blue Bell had a huge recall back in 2016 after a listeria scare. I imagine Blue Bell wasn't too thrilled about this young lady's prank. |

#1 Hmm. I was suspecting another Bee report, but this is from the WaPost. Blue Bell ice cream originally from Brenham, Texas. Jingle sings out "The best ice cream in the country". It is. It's some addicting stuff man. |
