What's wrong with eating ice cream directly from the box?

Question

Why do some people put it in a bowl?

Answer 1

There is nothing wrong w/eating it right out of the box if you live alone otherwise your putting your saliva back in the ice cream every time you dip into it. Like double dipping.
Putting it into a bowl allows us to have some and regulate the amount. Wouldn't be good to over do.

Answer 2

If you live along and there is nobody to share it with then eating it out of the box is ok.
If you share the ice cream then you should eat it out of a bowl. When ever you take the spoon out of your mouth and place it back into the box you transfer all of the germs from your mouth to the ice cream. There the germ will stay and some will grow over time. Then you start passing the germs every time someone else eats out of the box.

Another reason is if you like to put chocolate and whip cream on the ice cream, that is better in a bowl as well

Answer 3

there is no problem eatting the ice cream from the box so long as you are the only one that will be taking from that box and so long you are aware of this very important fact.
adults do not suffer from this very much but children danger
ice cream that has melted just alittle is enough and ice can be seen in the ice cream should not be given to a child it can be fatal . adults should avoid it too but giving a child that is extemmely dangerous. this may be one more reason that a bowl is used i suppose just so a good look at it can be done before let a child dig in .

Answer 4

Double dipping into the ice cream is the spread of germs if other also eat the same ice cream. Great if you are the only one eatting. If the point is that you don't like doing dishings then eat from an ice cream cone.

Answer 5

Well there is nothing wrong with it if it is yours and yours alone. If someone else is planning on eating it they may not want your yucky germs all over it. You eat the ice cream with the spoon then stick the spoon back in the container infecting the rest of it. But if it is just yours then go for it ;)

Answer 7

If you're one of those who can eat the whole box if ice cream like it's one medium cup, then go for it.

Ice cream is ice cream.

It doesn't care where or from what you eat it.

Then I will put it in a bowl.
