I used to be an enormous fan of Blue Bell Ice Cream. Until I found out that they knew they were likely to kill me and did nothing to correct it.
So, we are going to get to see a Texas corporation be held liable for depraved indifference and generally mean behavior.
Blue Bell Creameries is under criminal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice for its handling of the ice cream contamination linked to 10 reported cases of listeriosis, a U.S. official has confirmed to CNN. Three of those believed to be sickened by Blue Bell frozen treats died.
Prosecutors are examining whether company executives committed wrongdoing in their handling of the outbreak.
The Little Creamery in Brenham might well become The Little Creamery in Prison.
I have to tell you that there were people in Texas with yard signs saying they supported Blue Bell. Of course, these are the same people who think Obama is trying to invade Texas and that being covered in tin foil ain’t just for turkeys anymore.
There was even one group trying to raise money to help Blue Bell clean up their filthy factories.
Listen. They tried to kill you. They might as well been drunk holding a pistol to your head. They knew their ice cream would probably kill you but they took your money and gave you a scoop of live germs.
It’s ice cream with nice commercials that don’t include a slogan like, “It’s just like Russian Roulette except with cones.”
Thanks to Bryan for the heads up.
