Apparently, the present sized hole posses a danger to our little hedgehog population. The unsuspecting creatures crawl into the cup (for shelter, to lick the residues of ice cream, who knows?) and then they can’t get out and die. It’s rather touching that the company is concerned about our hedgehogs, don’t you think?
Still, it’s rather bizarre. Are there potentially so many hedgehogs in the vicinity of empty ice cream cups that it warrants the attention of the company’s quality control manager? How often did this unfortunate situation occur before this large conglomerate changed the whole production process of their cups lids? Does this happen only in Germany, or does the standard hole in the lid pose a global danger?
I think the little cuties stick their heads in for a lick of ice cream, and can't pull them out again (those pesky spines). Last meal.
ReplyDeleteI think this got the attention of their public relations manager more than the quality control guy. After all, a dead hedgehog sticking out of the top of one of your clearly branded ice cream cups is a tragedy. After a hundred, you start to look like monsters.
I don't think we have hedgehogs here in North America :-(

What I have to ask is, "Why is the cup lying on the floor?" because if they were in the trash bin there wouldn't be a problem, wouldn't there?
