People Share Times They Caught Rodents Munching Their Human Food
Rodents do not usually make great roommates, but they do seem to have excellent taste in snacks. One mouse, in particular, set off a wave of reactions after being caught trying to unwrap a Lindt chocolate truffle, and the internet immediately had thoughts.
That one story opened the floodgates for people to share their own encounters with mice, squirrels, and other hungry little intruders making off with human food. From chocolate to burgers to avocados, the posts are equal parts funny and oddly relatable, especially when the animals seem to know exactly what they want.
Some of these tiny thieves even look like they planned the whole thing. Read on.
One Twitter user shared her interesting story:
The incident at the inn may appear strange to some, but it seems to have charmed a sizable chunk of the internet, as evidenced by the people who felt moved to share their own similar stories.
And once one rodent story took off, the rest came pouring in.
Apparently, mice also like Green & Blacks chocolate
And if you think rodents getting into snacks is bad, remember Peanut the Squirrel, seized and euthanized by NY authorities.
Squirrels love McDonald's? Well, they obviously don't pay much attention to calories...
Maybe the mouse was going out on a date and needed a breath freshener
Yes, that mouse is taunting you
CarMax loves his avocados.
Have you noticed that the animals are not eating tasty food and sweets on the spot? Nope, they are taking them home to eat in peace... Or to share with the rest of the family... Nah, no one shares Lindt Truffles.
Alcohol can kill... The poor fellow was probably drowning his sorrows because his girlfriend left him...
Food is one of the greatest pleasures in life. And most of us humans believe that we are the only species that can truly appreciate food.
In our minds, animals eat only because they need to, not for pleasure. Well, it turns out we were wrong.
These stories clearly indicate that squirrels get bored with all those nuts and crave a big juicy hamburger. Mice, on the other hand, enjoy fine sweets made from Belgian chocolate.
Yes, those little critters who would eat just about anything, books, furniture, cables, they actually have a sweet tooth. And a sophisticated taste!
These stories serve as a gentle reminder of the sweetest and most basic joys in life, as well as a reminder that, at the end of the day, we all just want to eat something tasty.
Turns out the snack table is not just for humans.
