Here it is where I found it first, in German, and here's an English article. Hedgehogs are getting stuck in McDonald's McFlurry containers. "While it is unknown what a diet of ice cream can do to a hedgehog -- apart from making rolling into a ball a more laborious exercise -- it is not the product itself which is proving deadly but the receptacle." Getting your head stuck in a big plastic container is bad, to say the least. The packaging has been redesigned to avoid hedgehog entrapment.

Speaking of hedgehogs, have you seen this outrage of mine, TTTO "Hopy Eyrie"?

Mit dem Schaf oder mit Giraff'
Hat man viel Spaß ohne Streß.
Viele Tiere sind so gut;
Die folgt man mit ganz heißem blut.
'Ne Ausnahme doch gibt es.

Kann der Igel des Landes
Nie gebuggert werden.
Habet acht vor diesem Untierchen.

I had not seen that outrage of yours before. Quite the outrage it is :) Now it's going to be stuck in my head...

It's a good story, though an old one ... I refer you to this article in the San Francisco Chronicle from September 2006.

There are many links on the internet, the one I've linked to is one I enjoyed when it was first published (I get the SFGate headlines sent to me each week).

OK, that's the most awesome possible writeup of the story.
