Rather than going with something normal for its ice cream commercial, the [Little Baby's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hudsonville-ice-cream-little-debbie) Ice Cream shop in Philadelphia decided to do something weird this summer. Instead of showing a person screaming for ice cream with just one mouth, the commercial is a strange one that replaces the eyes of people with mouths, meaning that there are twice as many screams for ice cream than usual.

The commercial is narrated by Matthias Bossi, who doesn't say anything that's unusual or weird, but the tone of the whole ad just gives off some [creepy vibes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-ice-cream-flavors). Nonetheless, it's an ice cream commercial that's likely to stick in your head no matter if you find it amusing or terrifying.
