More shocking POOP ICE CREAM revelations in today’s Daily Telegraph:
- They’re calling it “Gelatigate”. They also refer to the suburb (on their front page) as “Poogee Bay.”
- “Mr Williams also confirmed that a staff member had tasted the substance in question and agreed it was not chocolate sorbet.” (Italics mine.) EWWWWWW!
- “…the hotel’s head chef resigned after he personally smelled the sample which Steve and Jessica Whyte took home to their freezer.” EWWWWWW! And damning.
- “They’ve served us poo. There’s nothing else that it can be,” Mrs Elliott said after taking a whiff of Mrs Whyte’s napkin. “I wish I can tell you it was something else but I can’t, it absolutely stunk.” Then why in the world did her friend EAT IT?
I should’ve known the Telegraph would report all the really ucky bits. And their reader comments are (unintentionally, I’m sure) hilarious…

I also love the commenter who said: “DNA TEST THE POOP!!! IT WILL TELL YOU IF IT”S STAFF OR THE FAMILY TRYING TO JAG SOME MONEY…………”
Does anyone know if you can DNA-test poo?

Evidently you can! The head chef has offered his DNA to test.
I think I’m officially obsessed with this story.

You can DNA test poop, although it’s mostly bacterial in content. (I’m here to help.)
I totally think the family did it. Remember the people who found the thumb in their Wendy’s chili? Turns out they planted it.

Hahaha… Yesterday I was IMing with Rodd and I asked him the DNA question. And I swear to God, his answer was, “Ask Eileen!” 🙂

Now the million dollar question is -Who’s poo?

Right. They certainly could have tainted the “sample” at home. But it would have had to have been premeditated for them to immediately act it out in the pub, especially as the kids seem to have been convinced their Mom had eaten poo.
