- Replies 18
A simple attempt to cool off on a hot day quickly turned into a viral moment in one of Sydney’s busiest shopping areas.
What started as an innocent interaction with an ice sculpture ended up attracting far more attention than the man likely anticipated.
The unfolding situation caught the eye of passers-by and soon spread across social media, prompting a response from the brand behind the display.
A man found himself in an unexpectedly sticky situation after he licked a frozen billboard in Sydney's Pitt Street Mall.
The ice sculpture, set up by V Energy to promote their Refresh drinks, became a source of unintended humour when the man decided to cool off on a sweltering, humid day.
Things quickly took a turn when his tongue got stuck to the frozen billboard in the middle of the busy mall.
Despite efforts from a security guard, who attempted to pour water over his tongue to melt the ice, the man remained stuck.
It wasn’t clear how long he was attached to the sculpture, but he appeared to stay composed, much to the amusement of passers-by.
A video of the incident soon found its way to social media, leading V Energy to make an unusual request.
In a playful move, a spokesperson for the company said, ‘We never thought we’d have to say this, but don’t lick ice sculptures in public.’
They continued, ‘Drink V Refresh instead.’
To the mystery man caught in the chilly predicament, V Energy issued a message: ‘To the Pitt Street licker, drop us a DM @venergyaus. We have a present for you.’
In the end, while the man’s icy encounter was a bit of a social media sensation, V Energy's light-hearted response added a humorous twist to what was undoubtedly a rather embarrassing moment.
While the man’s chilly encounter certainly gave everyone a good laugh, it raises an interesting question: what do you think the brand will give him as a gift? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
