The owners of the store at Tipton Gas Bar in Lake Cowichan, B.C., were baffled when a black bear walked in and stole a bag of gummy bears.

It's the cannibalism that concerns me the most.

Please don't sugar-coat candy cannabilism

Edit: canndybillism

Fucking me over here thinking this is the setup for a joke.

[–] callyral@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

same, i actually laughed once i saw the content of the post because i was expecting a joke.

[–] staticblanket@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Thought this was Dad Jokes.

I love how he/she had to look around first. Man I feel that bear, I too can never figure out which snack I want either.

[–] callyral@pawb.social 6 points 1 year ago

at first, i though this was setup for a joke

then i saw the content of the post and thought it was some sort of ironic or deadpan joke

...then, coming from the "all" page, i saw the community and the link to an actual news website

The Canadian version of a Panda who eats shoots and leaves

Gas Station Bar? Seems like an unwise combination no?

Wait until we see the video of that bear's parents dragging him back there by the ear to Apologize to the shopkeeper.

There are multiple ways it could have misread the label there… is that the food for bears, or is it packaged berries, making it food for bears?

While what the bear did makes it a “most wanted” bear on the conservation officer’s list, I tend to look at this bear as having made the best of a bad situation. This sure beats the “natural” behaviour of killing someone’s chickens and destroying their property.

Yeah but he's on the wanted list because it's terrible behavior for a bear. He didn't even try to pay!

black bear in the Gummi Bears with the sticky claws, well who'da thunk it

I thought this was a setup for a joke. What would the punchline be?

[–] charliespider@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Employee 1: Good thing it wasn't a panda

Employee 2: Why?

Employee 1: Google it

Employee 2 (finds description of panda on Google)

Panda: black and white bear, eats shoots and leaves

[–] NJA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I clicked to see the punchline and was surprised that it's a real story

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 3 points 1 year ago

He could have got the leaves for free in the forest

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Excellent taste.
