Weird World: Texas man’s ice-cream licking stunt earns him 30 days in jail

A Texas has been jailed for 30 days for filming himself licking ice-cream and putting it back in the freezer of a Walmart supermarket.


The video of D’Adrien Anderson, 24, was shared on social media last August.

Surveillance cameras in the shop showed he later took the ice-cream back out of the freezer and bought it.

He was also given a six-month suspended sentence, 100 hours of unpaid work, a $1,000 fine, and was ordered to pay $1,565 to the ice-cream company.

The ice-cream-licking happened on 26 August in Houston, Texas. His ice-cream stunt came a month after a very similar video, in which a teenage girl licked a tub of ice-cream and put it back in the freezer at a Walmart in Lufkin, Texas.

In that case, the girl, who was under 18 at the time, did not buy the ice-cream afterwards. The video of her licking the ice-cream was viewed more than 13 million times.

Anderson and his father later returned to the shop to show officers a receipt as proof that he had bought the tainted ice-cream.

Despite this, the ice-cream manufacturer Blue Bell Creameries replaced all of the ice-cream in the freezer as a precaution, which cost them $1,565.

Anderson pleaded guilty earlier this year to misdemeanour criminal mischief.
