Bear Takes Over California Ice Cream Shop, Fans Go Wild!
Bears and Ice Cream: Tahoe’s Unexpected Sweet Tooth Stumble
Snowy Visitor Sits Down at the Counter
What happens when a hefty brown‑faced wanderer takes a spin‑away from the wilderness and lands in a California ice‑cream joint? You get a face‑palm moment and a handful of selfies from the sheriff’s deputies.
In the early Sunday chill of South Lake Tahoe, the town’s folks were treating a human‑like drizzle’s onslaught – wait, a bear – that sported a fluff‑y ensemble and ”cherry”‑blessed eyes.
Sheriff Deputies: “We’re Not the Crowd for…berries?”
After a light-hearted raid, the cuddly critter was kindly escorted out while snapping a few photos that will go viral… or at least posted on the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page. “We managed to coax it away – the only hard thing is the fact that it had a crush on strawberry ice‑cream,” the page read.
Fuzzy’s Sugar‑Crazed Foray
- No major damage (except maybe one half‑empty wrapper)
- Bear’s brief stay was shopping‑style and immediately followed by the cartoonish “shoo” chant
- “The cleanup? Minimal–just a few crumbs!”
Bears: California’s Common Residents
These magnificent beasts are often lurking in our state’s woods, unafraid of grills, bars, and metres of junk food. Though biting into the soft‑talk fence is a rare event, the most frequent mishap? The simple – when they can’t escape from their taste‑tempted quest.
So, the next time you’re scooping up a cone beyond the counter, remember: a bear’s curiosity can take a bite out of, but not the town’s joy.
