I'm the poster from #138 who bought the Breyer's. I'm not a Blue Bell fan. I usually get Talenti gelato but they didn't have my flavors so I was looking for something else.

Talenti has a plastic strip going around the lid. I chose Breyer's because it also had the plastic strip.

Knowing social media I figured there would be copycats sooner than later and this morning I read about the guy in Louisiana.

A few more copycats and we'll see more ice cream containers with those plastic strips.

Oh no, another snowflake making a racist accusation!

Useless word, means nothing anymore.

Yes, I like those outside strips, too. And even the plastic film covering the ice cream are difficult to remove.

There's been several copy cats who've done similar recently after they saw this video.

I hate how these disgusting acts are going viral. I’ve seen about 5 different lick/spit/etc videos since this first one. They need to publicize the arrests and punishments of these clowns to deter people.

Yes, I saw the one in Louisiana with Blue Bell and another one with a different brand in California. That carton looked like one I see at Whole Foods (the name escapes me).

That's nothing compared to this:

Florida woman picks nose, sticks fingers in ice cream; urinates in bucket

Blue Bell announced they are adding protection to their ice cream containers.
Probably those plastic strips around the lid like other brands.

Texas got serious about their Blue Bell !! This image went viral on the net yesterday.

Blue Bell announced on Monday that it would add more protection to its ice cream after the two incidents.
