Ew.<br /><br />The 36-year-old, who really should've known better, proudly put the video up on Facebook, where it got hundreds of thousands of views, reports the New York Times.<br /><br />It caught the attention of a concerned customer, who then alerted the supermarket's manager. <br /><br />Martin later went back to the store with a receipt, claiming he'd bought the licked carton. But the manager said they couldn't be sure which one he'd contaminated, and so had to clear everything out and notify Blue Bell.<br /><br />The copycat ice cream licker was nabbed by the cops and thrown in jail for criminal mischief for tampering with a product, and unlawful posting of criminal activity for notoriety and publicity.<br /><br />In the end, dude kind of got what he wanted. Smile for the camera Lenise — ya famous!
