The Ice Cream Cone Sprinkles Brawl

The unofficial start to summer is here and people are excited about the warm weather, vacations, beaches and summertime treats such as ice cream cones.

We need to remember that ice cream is meant for enjoyment and camaraderie, hopefully with family and friends.

Picking an ice cream flavor can be a very personal decision. The same is true of ice cream toppings. We all have our favorites. Hot fudge, nuts, sprinkles…they are all good. No matter what topping we like best, there should never be a reason to get the police involved. Memorial Day Weekend can be a busy time for members of law enforcement as they work to keep people safe during the holiday weekend. They probably had better things to do than break up a sprinkler fight.

Unfortunately, it appears that is what happened in Michigan this past Memorial Day Weekend.

Police say a woman decided to take matters into her own hands after claiming she did not receive enough sprinkles on her ice cream cone.

Police say it started when the woman entered a local gas station and ordered an ice cream cone. It seems the clerk put on too few sprinkles for the woman’s liking, causing the woman to throw a fit. Police say a man with the woman tried to calm her down, but that didn’t work as she allegedly tried to hit him.

Let’s put aside the fact that the woman was fortunate enough to find a gas station that serves ice cream cones. This is still no way to act, sprinkles or no sprinkles.

Enjoy your ice cream, and your toppings, this summer. And keep the cops out of it.
