We All Scream
Serendipity has been blissfully free of the strange, horrific, and downright-supernatural phenomena that usually plague purveyors and parlors of ice cream. These inexplicable events are widely acknowledged, though obliquely, through the children’s rhyme and warning: “I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.” What are some of the ice cream horror stories that have made us scream over the years?
1956, Muncie, Indiana: A dish of ice cream develops eerie cherry eyes, which swivel wildly and blink, “Don’t eat me, I love you,” in Morse code.
1967, Plano, Texas: A government experiment gone awry causes a tub of strawberry ripple to rise as a fully animate dairy golem, gobbling up several parlor employees before stepping outside to be felled by the quick thinking of a mildly warm day.
1972, Santa Monica, California: Escaped occultist, Johann “Mad Mike” Lansing is found asleep, clutching a half-eaten drum of mint chocolate chip in a Moo’ve Over Frozen Yogurt! franchise near the highway. Reports vary, but the plethora of staff and customers transmogrified into frogs seems to confirm accounts that Lansing lost his temper when—unable to prove it was his birthday—he was refused a free sundae.
