Wisconsin Lake Ice Fishing Snack Run That Ended in ‘Oh Shi*!

Wisconsin just won the gold medal in “Hold My Beer” winter antics. An overzealous delivery driver on Shawano Lake took “30 minutes or less” to a whole new level by attempting to deliver food on the ice. Spoiler alert: ice doesn’t care about your ETA.

Breaking News: A Van’s Ice-Capade—With Snacks as the Villain

Picture it—a serene, frozen lake, a lone ice fisher, and a white van channeling its inner Titanic. This brave (or very confused) soul drove his delivery van onto the lake to hand-deliver someone’s lunch.

In case you’re wondering, no, he did not check if the ice could handle two tons of “I’m just doing my job.” The van plunged through, because physics.

Emergency crews later fished the driver out (sans snacks, we assume) and hauled him off to the hospital for evaluation—probably for hypothermia and poor decision-making.

As if that wasn’t enough, the guy was arrested for an “unrelated matter” upon release. Nothing says “this guy’s having a day” like plunging a van into a lake and leaving in handcuffs.

Meanwhile, a local towing company and fire department got the honor of dragging the van out of its icy grave. We’re betting they’ll be billing that snack run as a premium service.

Here in Rockford, we know a thing or two about cold-weather mishaps, but even we wouldn’t attempt DoorDash on a frozen lake. Pro tip: if your ice-fishing snacks can’t survive the trek on foot, maybe just stay hungry.
