This doesn't appear to be the first time the squirrel's acquired a candy bar...

[–]Journalisto 250 points251 points ago

Probably found his way into a vending machine.

[–]CollegeTownPUA 221 points222 points ago

Speaking of which, I present to you a thirty second clip of a squirrel breaking into a vending machine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=Q1-XU5Yx3qE

Edit: replaced my link with Fakemanrocks link, which has better quality and narration.

[–]Scavenger205 102 points103 points ago

To do list: train squirrel to steal candy from vending machine for me.

[–]yellowpride 42 points43 points ago

[–]KabanaBoy 4 points5 points ago

[–]Roboticide 8 points9 points ago

If you were able to raise one as a baby as a pet, it would probably be pretty doable.

[–]bergdorf_bandit 54 points55 points ago

god damn, I love the internet.

[–]Desolator001 16 points17 points ago

Of course he picked the one with peanuts...

[–]Captain_Blood 7 points8 points ago

Need I remind you of the Over the Hedge scene where they break into the vending machine?

[–]Gooberpatrol66 19 points20 points ago

Needs more jpeg.

[–]30s_rock 7 points8 points ago

Thanks to all of you jerks, this thread has me craving chocolate, and I live in the country, no vending machines anywhere, and now I need to go drive 8 miles to get a bar 10:44pm. Anyone want anything?

[–]unwanted_puppy 13 points14 points ago

One time I found a huge plastic jiffy container in our recycling bin outside. It had been thrown out with the lid shut tight... I found it chewed through along the edges and every bit of what was left inside licked away.

Squirrels don't mess around with peanut butter.

[–]Swurl 30 points31 points ago

Brian, eat a snickers, you're not you when you're hungy...

[–]BrexBets89 10 points11 points ago

When I lived in New Orleans, there was a squirrel of similar stature that somehow had an abundance of Reese's Pieces/M&M's that someone kept feeding him.

[–]nigglebottomz 6 points7 points ago

[–]andbruno 377 points378 points ago

Imagine a snickers the size of your torso.

My god.

[–]jonesy852 339 points340 points ago

All that squirrel's friends think that he is hibernating when really he is in a diabetic coma.

[–]n1ffuM 123 points124 points ago

Doesn't matter; had snickers.

[–]knock_harder 87 points88 points ago

Here in Virginia, this isn't wtf at all. I took my kids on a picnic at a local park, and the squirrels took our big bag of chips and a ham and cheese sandwich. Ran it right up the tree and ATE IT IN FRONT OF US.

My kids thought it was pretty cool, but I was pissed.

[–]Scarlett_Begonias 27 points28 points ago

The squirrels in Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens are apparently very used to eating human food, whether they're given it or they just steal it. I remember one particular time at one of the outdoor eating spots in Williamsburg, I made friends with an adorable little squirrel. I was trying not to feed it when it was just sitting near me on the ground, but when it actually hopped up onto the table and sat within a foot of me, it was just so brave and cute that I had to give it some chips. It followed me around for about an hour afterwards.

[–]Pragmataraxia 9 points10 points ago

The squirrels in the Grand Canyon are no strangers either, and bravery has gone too far.

I rounded a corner once to see some hikers resting and chatting with their packs on the ground at their feet. There was a squirrel ninja chewing through the side of the pack to get at something tasty inside, when I startled him. He looked at me in panic for 1 second, then began digging with a fury to get at the sweet treats before I could narc on him.

I totally ratted him out, but he found something, and scarpered with it before the guy could understand what I was saying. He looked pissed about his pack...

[–]RadtasticNinjaChick 67 points68 points ago

Reminds me of the story my friend once told me. She and her family went to the Grand Canyon, and she had a rice Krispie treat. She hadn't opened it yet, and set it down on a rock for a minute. Well, a little squirrel got its paws on it, and when she turned around, the darn thing skittered over to the edge, looked her straight in the eye, and dropped it over the edge.

It was about sending a message, I guess.

[–]BeastMcBeastly 7 points8 points ago

Its not about the candy, its about sending a message.

[–]Trindal 7 points8 points ago

His winter stash spot is the entire Grand Canyon. This squirrel is baller.

[–]Thehealeroftri 156 points157 points ago

Is it just me, or are fatter animals more cute and adorable?

It's unhealthy, but it makes them look so much more hug-able.

Also, that was possibly the gayest thing I've said today.

[–]BitchesLove 48 points49 points ago

Careful w the word fat on reddit. That's a beautiful squirrel! And last fat of pic I saw turned into accusation of severe animal abuse

[–]AyChihuahua 44 points45 points ago

You talking about the 50lb chihuahua?

[–]backdora_da_explora 23 points24 points ago

Unless you have sex with it

[–]pufflepants 2 points3 points ago

I see what you did there.

[–]slapadastic 4 points5 points ago

and if you show a skinny squirrel it's anorexic.

[–]squee777 6 points7 points ago

Check your privilege you animal.

[–]teegale 4 points5 points ago

If only this applied to humans :( Forever alone.

[–]Verbose_Slayer 7 points8 points ago

funny, the gayest thing I said today is: "lemme see your cock" in reference to my friend having a rooster.

[–]Embrel 56 points57 points ago

I've heard people say that everyone has a twin somewhere, but I never thought mine would be a squirrel.

[–]Dashzz 15 points16 points ago

So you climb up into trees and eat candy bars?

[–]Embrel 20 points21 points ago

I probably would eat Snickers in a tree, if I could climb them anymore.

[–]ToastyRaichu 3 points4 points ago

you got too fat to climb trees from eating so many snickers

[–]Embrel 9 points10 points ago

Snickers. Sports injuries. Mostly wife's cooking. But, you pretty much hit it right on. :)

[–]theMeatMunster 60 points61 points ago

as awesome as that is, it should go in r/aww

[–]therestruth 8 points9 points ago

Not real yet :(

[–]bigben56 11 points12 points ago

We can make it real!

[–]uiorhet[S] 180 points181 points ago

So while golfing, after the front 9 my dad got a Snickers from the clubhouse. He left it in the carts cup holder while we went off 10, we turn around just in time to find this little thief unwrapping his loot.

[–]creedofwheat 188 points189 points ago

I'm more impressed that he unwrapped it.

[–]uiorhet[S] 178 points179 points ago

I know, he actually pulled the wrapper down like he was peeling a banana. I don't think it was his first time.

[–]Atersed 35 points36 points ago

Shouldn't you be hibernating or something?

[–]CiD7707 10 points11 points ago

Winter is approaching. Better bury some walnuts.

[–]Squirrelson 3 points4 points ago

Squirrels only do semi-hibernation.

They get up every now and again to shit and shit.

[–]koalaberries 32 points33 points ago

After six long months, your time has come.

[–]backdora_da_explora 7 points8 points ago

GGS, doesn't complain about his karma being stolen.

[–]Sapphires13 10 points11 points ago

They crack open nuts. That's like unwrapping.

[–]damontoo 7 points8 points ago

I ran the pic through fotoforensics fully expecting it to be shopped. It's not. o_O

[–]Leanne_N 19 points20 points ago

Unfortunately they didn't get the shot of the squirrel injecting his insulin shortly after.

[–]DonOntario 16 points17 points ago

Karl Pilkington (almost) got it right:

"Squirrels are violent now, they attack you in the park. They're not happy with acorns, they're after a bit of croissant!"

And:

"Things are changing, I don't know if I told you about those squirrels eatin' Mars bars!?"

[–]CeruleanThunder 90 points91 points ago

This isn't WTF. Like, even slightly...

[–]HELL666 20 points21 points ago

squirrel eating snickers on a tree. Seems pretty casual to me.

[–]majicpowaz 30 points31 points ago

Just because it's slightly out of the ordinary doesn't make it WTF.

[–]might_say_fuck_you 9 points10 points ago

It is if you happen to see it, and think to yourself, "what the fuck?"

[–]I_Hope_So 9 points10 points ago

Exactly. People seem to believe /r/wtf must only contain gore and fucked up shit.

With that said, /r/funny or /r/aww might be more appropriate.

[–]Logan37 14 points15 points ago

That's because r/WTF is actually r/slightlyoutoftheordinary now.

[–]CeruleanThunder 17 points18 points ago

You're not kidding. Most of the posts I see on /r/WTF recently would be better suited in /r/mildlyinteresting. That said, a lot of them aren't even that...

[–]Logan37 2 points3 points ago

I know. I was 100% serious.

[–]KazeMaru77 3 points4 points ago

Didn't even notice I was in /r/WTF until you pointed it out

[–]rampage597n 5 points6 points ago

[–]primus380 13 points14 points ago

this feels like it would be better in r/funny

[–]Demomon 12 points13 points ago

Wow, Ive never seen anything more WTF on this subreddit

[–]TheBiles 22 points23 points ago

A squirrel eating is WTF? Are you shitting me?

[–]benkr16 4 points5 points ago

I was playing golf in Arlington and a health conscious squirrel took my twizzlers. True story.

[–]cheerleader4thedead 2 points3 points ago

You're not you when you're hungry. Snickers satisfies.

[–]N8iveButcher 2 points3 points ago

I like to believe the squirrel appeared to be a ravenous bear but reverted back to its squirrelly self upon satisfying his hunger with a Snickers.

[–]DoctorMumbles 15 points16 points ago

OMG WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SQUIRREL DOING HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

Said No one.

[–]H3OFoxtrot 5 points6 points ago

A FURRY RODENT WTF???!!!

[–]RespectableNoob 6 points7 points ago

Matt, have a snickers. You get squirrely when you're hungry.

[–]doctorqui 3 points4 points ago

Strange, I wonder if squirrels have the ability to process theobromine and all that other stuff.

Edit: wikipedia says rodents don't have any problems with it really, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theobromine_poisoning

[–]KentDixson 10 points11 points ago

Yeah... So that's not /r/WTF

NOT WTF Stop upvoting this bullshit.

Edit: Aww I downvoted this shit when it had 12 upvotes and now this... /r/wtf you disgust me.

[–]abacobeachbum 15 points16 points ago

I disagree, as I'm sure that when his dad came back to the golf cart and saw the squirrel with his candy bar, he probably did not say, "aww." He probably said, "what the fuck," as I would have too.

[–]overweight_squirrel 3 points4 points ago

Well we love dem snickers.

[–]Lillipout 3 points4 points ago

Can't a squirrel enjoy a Snickers in peace without the paparazzi finding out about it?

[–]JAYKAYJAYKAY 2 points3 points ago

Where'd I hide those nuts? Ah right, in the slab of chocolate.

[–]JSLEnterprises 2 points3 points ago

While observing fattened squirrels rummaging for more sustenance to store for the upcoming winter, we observed one who was not exhibiting the aforementioned behaviour.

After tracking his movements (or lack thereof) we watched as he pulled out a "Snickers" bar from a crevice within the tree, not too distant from his nest. It then proceeded to perch atop the crotch of the tree and began gnawing at said snickers bar, masticating loudly, while in turn, observing us.

[–]twirrel 0 points1 point ago

The squirrels in the park near my college were like that. Tried to have a picnic there once with my boyfriend and the little monsters almost made off with our cinnamon rolls. It also wasn't that uncommon to see squirrels jumping out of campus trash cans and waddling off with half-eaten donuts or pizza.

We also had a professor that I honestly know by no other name than "the Squirrel Whisperer" who used to leave peanuts on the windowsill of his office. He apparently forgot to close the window properly over spring break one year, a pack of squirrels broke in, ransacked/demolished his office, and ate all of the peanuts out of his stash for them.

[–]BuzzKillingtonThe4th 0 points1 point ago

When I was young, around St Patrick's day I would go "leprechaun hunting". I'd leave those chocolate coins wrapped in gold foil under a laundry basket, held up by a stick, with that stick tied to a string. The coins kept disappearing and I was ecstatic until my mother told me to look out the window... turns out a squirrel had been stealing the coins, not leprechauns. :(
