Some grocery stores are making customers show ID and one has even been forced to have cops guard an ice cream freezer after a trend of people filming themselves licking the product and putting it back went viral.
Numerous videos have been posted on social media showing individuals licking or scooping out ice cream and replacing it, with several of them racking up millions of views.
Despite two people having already been arrested for food tampering, the fad doesn’t appear to be dying down.
This has prompted some stores to respond with draconian measures, such as this one which placed a sign on a locked freezer displaying the words “Please see employee for help.”
The Keller Police Department in Texas also posted a photo showing two officers protecting a store’s ice cream freezer with the caption, “The only Blue Bell Ice Cream being licked here in Keller this holiday weekend will be the kind you’Ave already purchased.”
In case you missed what prompted all this, and are not currently eating your dinner, watch the videos below.
‘X-Files-Like Mystery’ In Texas As Cattle Found Dead With Missing Tongues

Authorities in Texas are investigating the mysterious deaths of six cattle found with their tongues “completely removed” by precision “clean cuts.”
Ranchers in Madison County, about 100 miles southeast of Waco, found the mutilated remains of a 6-year-old longhorn-cross cow lying on her side at their ranch.
Madison County Sheriff’s Office said, “A straight, clean cut, with apparent precision, had been made to remove the hide around the cow’s mouth on one side, leaving the meat under the removed hide untouched. The tongue was also completely removed from the body with no blood spill.” “It was noted there were no signs of struggle and the grass around the cow was undisturbed,” investigators from the sheriff’s office said.
Investigators added: “No footprints or tire tracks were noted in the area.”
Ranchers also reported five similar cases involving four adult cows and one yearling in Brazos and Robertson counties.
The exact cause of death of the six livestock is unknown; each was found the same way, with “face cut along the jaw line and the tongue removed” in “straight, clean cut, with apparent precision,” the sheriff’s office said.
One commenter on the Facebook post wrote, “This is just to dristraxt of from how high inflation is.”
The discovery of the cattle resembles a storyline from an episode of “The X-Files.”
