What is this world coming to? First we saw the Fridge Locker, a lockable plastic cage one must use to protect their food inside communal refrigerators. Now we see this insane Ben-&-Jerry's-branded combination lock for ice cream pints:
I thought (or hoped) it was a gag, but the thing is for sale on Amazon for $30.
If you cannot restrain yourself from stealing another person's food or dipping into another person's ice cream, you are an animal who's wearing clothes. I hope you fall down an escalator that's going up.

Hell in a Handbasket: A Security Lock for Pints of Ice Cream
The tub is made of paper, which can be sliced through with a regular serrated knife. This is as good as fortifying the front door of a glass house.
Furthermore, this won't work at all on a half-filled pint*.
I agree with Rain when it comes to fridge raiders, that said, I would consider this contraption a fair challenge... I wouldn't dream of helping myself to your ice cream, but stick this thing on and I will consider it an invitation to cut a small hole through the bottom, siphon the contents out and replace it with whatever I can think of that will cause you the greatest disappointment upon smugly unlocking your treasure chest !
Or just go in thru the base.
I'm gonna sell an ice cream break in tool called a 'skoop' for $30 to counteract this blasphemy.
