A Texas man who recorded himself licking ice cream at a Port Arthur Walmart and returning the carton to the store freezer has been sentenced to 30 days in jail.
Anderson told police he licked the ice cream as a prank and later went back and bought the carton.
Anderson did buy the carton, police have said, but the Walmart replaced its entire inventory of ice cream."Anderson's actions caused public concerns about the safety and quality of consumer products offered for public consumption, impacted Blue Bell consumer confidence and caused the company financial loss. This type of activity will not be tolerated," the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office said.Blue Bell is a beloved Texas-based ice cream company.
Amid the viral Blue Bell-licking trend, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott hailed police for tracking down another teen who did the stunt andPort Arthur is a city of around 55,000 south of Beaumont, near the Louisiana border.
