When this was posted on reddit with a title saying it had been purchased this way, some people who worked at ice cream factories chimed in saying that was bullshit – they could tell by the way the ice cream was swirled under the frog. They said it looked like the ice cream was normal when purchased, and someone had added the frog after the fact.
Apparently they could tell because the container would have been sealed in the factory before the ice cream had set, whilst it was still quite soft. If the frog had entered at that time, it would have mushed down into the ice cream more, rather than being just on the surface. You certainly wouldn’t be able to see the feet like that.
Tl;dr: It was originally posted as outrage bait, IIRC.
Is this a really gross food stuff, like the japanese horse meat icecream or a nasty food safety error?
It’s a prank or one of those faked outrage memes.

(e: found the reddit post)
I am not an expert, but I went to BlueBell to watch themake the ice cream.
I don’t see how this could have possibly happened either, unless it was done intentionally.
The whole process is sealed/controlled from start to finish. Now listeria, on the other hand…
You mean to tell me people make up posts just to get a reaction and/or internet points? Outrageous.
Fuck. How am I going to trust anything on the internet moving forward?
