Marka Ragnos Posted July 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 15, 2022 When people eat ice cream cones in public, it almost drives me nuts. It's as bad as fingernails on a chalkboard or chewing ice. Something about the greedy, sloppy look of it ... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, in a round about way, brings me to the completely irrational anger I get when people in TV ice cream adverts bite into ice cream.

Who bites an ice cream? I must confess I do, why wouldn't you? When eating ice cream out of a bowl do you stick your face in and lick it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I was contacted by HR at a company a few days ago to see if I was interested in a role there. Never heard of them before but they're quite a large company in the healthcare sector. I'm not looking to move, but it looked right up my street, so I agreed to a call to discuss it. We book something in quickly, I get a couple of reminders in the run up to the appointment yesterday and then...they just don't call. I sat there for the 15 minutes. Nothing. Still, this morning, to email with an apology, never mind an offer to reschedule. Considering this is quite a specialised role and they're presumably struggling to fill it, I'm baffled that they seem to have ghosted me, but if that's how they treat potential hires, I dread to think of how they treat their actual staff. Bullet dodged. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When eating ice cream out of a bowl do you stick your face in and lick it? No. You take a spoon of ice cream put it in your mouth and sort of let it slide down your throat. You don't chomp it do you. Same with, say, a magnum you don't bite it like a mars bar. You sort of put it in your mouth and slide it back out. Kenneth. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) I bite the ice cream too, I don’t want it melting on me. Same with magnum type ones too. Edited July 15, 2022 by Ingram85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely do the opposite of what you are doing Yes I do chomp at it I do eat a magnum like a mars bar I much prefer eating ice cream in its solid state, none of this softening it up at room temp nonsense, straight out of the freezer, into my bowl and down the hatch before it melts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC_Hitz Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 So TIL, people chew ice cream, and bite magnums. Things must be worse than I thought under the Tories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
