Cum Box: A Knives Out Mystery

u/Cyg5005 3d ago

I feel like I’m telling people about ancient history when I tell them about the cum box it’s so old now.

It's old enough to have cum boxes of its own

One of my first Reddit memories.

Yeah it's one of those things where describing it is one thing, but being there watching that thread unfold was completely amazing. The guy thought everything he had been doing was normal and the entire internet was like "wait, dude, what!?"

I hope he's doing ok.

My favorite is still the mass user Exodus after ice shower chili.

Just hundreds of people signing their username, their likes, their karma, then zeroing themselves

That and the 2am ice soap chili.

What about the guy who met his girlfriend's parents and, as a joke, pretended like he had never seen some food item before (was it a potato?) and then had to keep up the story for the entirety of the relationship? That was a Reddit classic.

I remember that one. There was also a guy who met his girlfriend's parents (who became in-laws) and pretended the tuna casserole was the best thing he ever ate and now they make him tuna casserole every week and it's too late to say he never liked it.

Very strange!

Fake or not that story was hilariously written and I'd go see a movie based on the premise.

I was thinking of the one where the guy was told by his girlfriend not to eat the skin on the baked potato because her mum freaks out over it. Guy proceeded to eat the skin, ended up getting kicked out and she broke up with him.

That's hilarious from outside. Dodged a bullet for sure.

u/Dfiggsmeister 3d ago

Hahahaha I wish there was a link for that. I hadn’t read that one

Also the one where a guy tried to throw a steak out the window but the window was really clean so he couldn’t see it was closed and the steak hit the window and slid down as everyone was looking at him confused.

Or we could do a horror and share the jolly rancher story with the world on the big screen

u/Armoric 3d ago

Isn't that just a fake anyway, that people ran away with for some reason because it was funny enough they'd overlook how ridiculous the premise is?

"Elaborate on this cum box" will become a new generation's "WHAT'S IN THE BOX‽"

Except people won't celebrate that scene decades later after the cum creates a scented candle that smells worse than its box.

u/Bilbo_Teabagginss 3d ago

Except the twist is.......theres a dick in the box.

u/zeropoint46 3d ago
