An eight-year-old’s wildly viral reaction to the price of ice-cream is today’s funniest thing

When Karis Lambert from Burnley told her eight-year-old twin nieces Marnie and Mylah that they could have an ice-cream from the van, she can’t have expected that they’d end up going wildly viral – but that’s what happened.

The girls, Marnie in particular, were really not happy about the price – and we don’t blame them.

Watch her reaction.

Nine pounds for two ice-creams! NINE POUNDS!

Who’s the ice-cream man – Heston Blumenthal?

The TikTok has been viewed more than eight million times in two days (at the time of writing), as well as picking up over a million likes and almost 20,000 comments, including these that caught our attention.

A video this good was never going to stay within the confines of TikTok, and it soon found its way to Twitter/X …and a whole load more love.

Josh the kraken had a request.

Does she offer services by the hour? I’ve got a water bill I don’t agree with and I think she could handle the situation better than me.

In case you were concerned that the twins missed out on an ice-cream, they only missed out on an overpriced ice-cream. Karis explained –

“When it came to £9 on screen I said to her do you really want it, she said not for that price no I’ll just get one out of freezer when I get home.”

If you want to keep seeing the family’s content, you can follow Karis on TikTok and you can find the girls on Instagram.
