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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, after a week of working 18-hour days, I finally sat down to eat more than a sandwich. Unfortunately my kitchen has become a mess and I bypassed the clean bowl I'd put on the counter and ate my ice cream out of the cat's dirty food bowl. 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
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
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 learned the hard way that an ice cube is capable of ripping the skin off your bottom lip. 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
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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

You're obviously retarded.

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.

LOL! Had absolutely no idea that this would happen...I guess bc I haven't had the bright idea of trying this yet! Good to know though... Hope you became unstuck!!

Um Moose, just one question. Why did you just not finish the ice cream?
