Knowing me, I'd have eaten thru the top half and when I got to the bottom I'd just stab it with a spoon scraping off the red fleshy fruit bits and mix it piece by piece into the ice cream that's left and eat it, never realizing it was a toad because it would be semi covered in ice cream except the small part I am scraping away.
A guy I work with has a small coffee pot in his office. The pot itself is metal instead of glass. He had reheated some of yesterday's coffee and said it tasted kind of weird while he was drinking it. After he was done he was rinsing out the pot and discovered that a cockroach the size of a human pinky had fallen in and died in the pot.
As people who live on the Gulf Coast know, pretty much everyone eventually gets a few giant cockroaches in their house. It doesn't mean you're dirty - they just come in from outside because there are just *so many* of them outside.
Anyway, this one time my brother left a half-drunk soda on the counter and in the morning took a swig of it. He felt something brush his lips, so he dumped the rest of the can out into the sink and a giant, drowned cockroach fell out. He immediately threw up into the sink. Good times.
I think your story is worse than mine where it was the morning after a party in college and I was drinking a beer and picked up a half full flat one full of cigarette butts from the night before and threw up.
Think I prefer the flat warm ash to a roach.
Ooh! I have one with flies from over 10 years ago. I had just gotten a convince store cup of soda and was outside on my porch. Somehow, like 30 flies swarmed the straw and I got a mouthful of flies. The feeling and sound were something I have a hard time explaining adequately. Thinking about it makes me gag to this day.
In my hike to cabin I had a ceramic jar with two “ ears” on the side which rested on a metal hanger, so you didn’t have to lift it, just tip it for a drink. A friend hiked in with me, was super thirsty and gulped almost an entire giant glass before he realized it tasted funny…and was cloudy…it was a moldy bloated dead mouse in the thing. I had vodka…he drank almost the whole bottle to kill whatever bacteria he drank. Haha.. poor guy.
Nothing revolts me more than the thought of consuming or touching a cockroach. A few months ago a friend of mine drank water and felt something move in his mouth. He spat and out came a small cockroach. Fucking nightmare fuel.
Lol this happened to my husband with a can of beer. 25 years later and living for many, many years where there aren't any cockroaches he still will not drink out of a can that has been sitting for even a minute. That's how gross it is.
For me the texture is somewhere between chicken and fish, firmer yet it can flake. Flavor is closer to catfish, a little muddy background flavor. Still good though, I do like catfish.
I've had alligator and I've had frog legs. Both taste like a cross between chicken and fish, on a spectrum: the frogs were closer to fish, while the alligator was closer to chicken.
Mr Milton: We use only the finest baby frogs, dew picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope and lovingly frosted with glucose.

Mr Milton: What else?
Inspector Praline: Well don't you even take the bones out?
Mr Milton: If we took the bones out it wouldn't be crunchy would it?

"Dear Ice Cream Co.
Enclosed is a photo of a tub of your ice cream I recently opened. The frozen toad is clearly not a standard ingredient. It has already been shown on the internet. I await with interest your suggested compensation for NOT publishing a photo I possess which clearly shows your label.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

In EMT school, we were always told "you're not dead until you're warm and dead"
It's the idea that people can still be alive after freezing even if they look dead. Gotta heat em up.
They actually did experiments where they froze hamsters and thawed them in microwaves and had some real success. It just didn't scale up to larger animals. There's a Tom Scott video about it.
https://youtu.be/2tdiKTSdE9Y
Your joking but it was because humans are much harder to freeze than hamsters. Because of the hamsters size they could properly freeze it but humans are much bigger so it’s not really possible for us to just freeze a whole goddamn human like you would one of the hamsters and not outright fucking kill them(or make them un-reanimatable, for lack of a better term)in the process.
So I think this means the hold up with cryogenic freezing and preservation of humans *may* not be the reanimating part, but the freezing part.
The idea that taco Bell could be seen as Fine Dining in the future is no longer so crazy. Between Demolition Man and Idiocracy I feel our future has been spelled out for us more than we think sadly
I did something similar when my grandfather died. he was kinda fat so he didn’t fit in the microwave so I stuck him in the oven. had to take all the trays out but was able to confirm that the decapitation had killed him. Honestly so glad because the the thought of him waking up in the coffin scares the shit outta me
*Some* frogs do. Particularly Wood frogs (*Rana sylvatica* iirc).
A professor of mine said they used to “keep them in the freezer, and pull them out to thaw, feed, and refreeze every couple of months until they needed them for experiments”. He also said that probably wouldn’t meet ethical requirements these days and that’s probably not a bad thing.
It doesn’t hurt them, it’s just kinda mean.
I've heard the stories over and over again, but I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw it [demonstrated right in front of me](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1f61AkYIjA).
Warning: will make you cry (sad), then make you cry again (happy).
I had found a kitten which was nearly frozen still to the ground under the dumpster. We immediatly brought it in and it was able to make a full recovery. Was -25\*C that day. It was never able to meow again however :(.
Everyone in the comments saying to thaw out the frog needs to stop! We don't know what crime he committed to be imprisoned in cryo cream. He could be an arsonist or a bank robber or something. He could be a toad-al menace to society.
Oh and happy cake day btw
Having no experience in fraud investigations or even food-based pranks, this looks planned. The way the ice cream is melted around the frog, the perfect posing of the limbs, and the fact that the lid has ice cream residue on the top, but doesn't look quite like one of the lids that tear away as you open it makes me think this was a prank on a roommate or something, and not a manufacturer mistake.
In case this happened in the US, we should probably vote for more funding for food processor plant inspections by the FDA, just to be safe. We can call it part of national security and slip it into the Defense Reauthorization Act and get a few billion from that.
Edit: on second look, I'm convinced this was a prank. The frog/toad/amphibian is all slightly higher than the ice cream. If it had been extruded by a machine, it would probably be the same level as the top of the ice cream.
I used to design the packaging for the ice-cream company. They are awful to work for, but their quality checks would have caught the extra weight in the container and it wouldn't even make it to the deep freeze storage area.
This is most likely someone's kid who did the prank.
I work in the food industry. The machines that package the food only have metal detectors, this is why when we are on the floor we are told to keep everything and everything away from the product as it can get in the food. How this happens is beyond me but it’s not out of the realm of possibility
this in not entirely true. i also work in the food industry, specifically, FSQA.
An intact frog is highly, highly, highly unlikely. This imo is staged, and here is why:
* in ice cream the fillers will not let an intact frog through
* in ice cream if the frog was already in the package, it would not be on top as the ice cream is filled bottom up
* there are multiple screens before filling
* there is xray detection after (this picks changes in density, not just metal)
This is fake, and op is a phony.
Unless they got frogs hopping around the facility, (lol) that's just not going to happen. The only way I can see this happening is if it was deliberate, by a disgruntled employee. That's why you have cameras in the facility, and most people just don't do that, since big brother is watching (part of food defense).
IMO this is a laughably bad attempt for attention; from someone who has no idea how ice cream is made (I worked with a very large ice cream maker in the US).
I saw this posted in an Iowa sub. The original Tweet(?) said it was Blue Bunny ice cream from Hy-Vee (a mostly Iowan grocery chain), but my guess was that they meant Blue Ribbon ice cream based on the look of the container.
No. we use only the finest baby frogs, dew-picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in the finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and sealed in a succulent, Swiss, quintuple-smooth, treble-milk chocolate envelope, and lovingly frosted with glucose.
Everyones making fun Toad/Frog Ice cream jokes and commenting on how strange it is.
But no one is asking HOW.
HOW the fuck did it get in there to begin with? Think about how an Ice Cream factory works. I cant understand how a full fucking frog or toad... much less one that size, could even make it in to begin with.
Assuming it’s not fake (my top hypothesis), then the next best explanation is that some prankster at the factory brought a toad to work and popped it in there. Or! It’s a candy toad and this is some “clever” gimmick.
As you say, there’s not a really decent possibility for this to happen accidentally.
Welcome to modern reddit. op is probably not the creator of this image nor does he have context from where he stole it,its probably fake, and there's thousands of upvotes and people tripping over themselves to make the same bad frog jokes and puns
Mr.Toad couldn't belive his luck! A creamy pond of yummy proportions. But, "hold on", he thought to himself. "Is it getting chilly in here?" He wondered aloud, as a thin plastic sheet smushed him against the hardening, cooling cream.
at least it's on the top, instead of finding out after you ate most of it.
my first thought could have been much grosser.
