Today, I found out that storing a partially empty bowl of ice cream in the freezer overnight along with the spoon, and then trying to take a bite the next day, can have the same effect as sticking your tongue on a flagpole in the middle of winter. FML

Today, my daughter had ice cream while I was napping. She didn't want me to know so she put the bowl in the trashcan and put the spoon in the garbage disposal and turned it on, because she thought it would make the spoon disappear. FML

Today, I decided I would eat healthy in order to lose weight. Feeling powerful, I threw away all of the icecream in my freezer. An hour later, I picked the icecream carton out of the garbage and ate the entire half-melted carton. FML

Today, I witnessed my sister use some ice cubes on her blistered toes, then quietly return them to the tray in the fridge. I've been putting ice from there into my drinks for weeks. FML

For science

Today, I was eating cereal and decided to warm it up to see what it tasted like. So, using a candle in the room I placed my spoon over the flame and waited to see if it heated up. Pleased with my silly experiment, I put the spoon back in my mouth. I now can't talk because of my swollen tongue. FML

Added flavor

Today, I was eating ice cream and struggling to chew a particularly hard chunk of chocolate. After finally breaking it into pieces, I spat it out because it tasted terrible. Then I discovered that I was missing my temporary crown. Now I have no upper molar. FML

Today, I was eating ice cream and I noticed some on my jeans so I wiped it off with my finger and licked it. It was bird shit. FML

You absolute melt

Today, I had four teeth pulled, and my mom brought me some ice cream to help with the pain. I fell asleep before I could finish it, and without realising, I left the bowl on my bed. I woke up a few hours later with ice cream spilled all over me, my pants, and all over my now-dead phone. FML

How's the diet going?

Today, I bought 3 buckets of expensive low-calorie ice cream because it was on sale, only to discover it tastes rather awful. I thought I liked that stuff… Oh, I remember now, I did like it… After mixing it with lots of chocolate spread. FML

Today, I made myself a hot pocket for lunch. I managed to scald myself on the red-hot cheese, and at the same time bite into the center, which was somehow still frozen solid. FML

Are you the same person who heated up a spoon over a candle and then put the spoon in his mouth?

Well, yeah... That's logic. Maybe you should get some of this logic stuff I speak of Mr.Moose.

Doing something stupid doesn't make you retarded. It makes you stupid. Having a disability makes you retarded, and that's a terrible word to use.

Um.. for the sake of chemistry and sanity I must say: False. Sticking a cold frozen spoon on your tongue does not have the same effect as a flagpole. You see, the metal of a spoon in no way compares to the thickness of a metal pole. Your mouth is warm enough to heat the spoon with in seconds, but with a pole your tongue is like a snowflake falling onto frozen ice. Maybe you just realized that freezers have freezing temparatures and will freeze things(yes even metal will drop to "freezing" temperatures) and then over reacted quite a bit because you were obviously unaware of this common phenomena.

I've experienced the same thing as OP before. My freezer is set to the coldest setting possible, though. I doubt the spoon stuck for a long time, but it's definitely possible for it to stick briefly. PS- Pretty sure the flagpole reference that OP made was a hyperbole intended to make the visual for us readers a bit more humorous. :)

Also who leaves their silverware in dishes that are being stored for a later date? Are you so in love with rock solid freezer goodies that you thought it would just immediately be edible because you left the spoon?

I think it was more for the convenience of not dirtying another piece of silverware.
