Dominos sell macaron?
_Bren10_@reddit
I thought that was the Krabby Patty that killed that health inspector
InfamousSquash1621@reddit
Apparently it's a special promotion in certain markets for the new Mandalorian movie because they look like the cookies Grogu eats
EmmyWeeeb@reddit
Is it supposed to come with ants?
marlfox_00@reddit
I’m guessing they set the box on the ground. It doesn’t take ants long to swarm a food source
BbqCthulhu@reddit (OP)
The delivery person dropped the macarons on the ground. The ants were dead from macaron impact 😭
Fucky0uthatswhy@reddit
The physics there don’t make any sense? If it dropped with enough force to kill a wall of ants, the cookie would be broken. How the fuck are they all dead in a line like that if he didn’t specifically roll the cookie over them? This makes no sense to me. Ants don’t die like that from a small impact n
BbqCthulhu@reddit (OP)
I just re-read this and now I'm feeling slightly suspicious. Either they dropped it by accident (the macarons are pre-frozen, so I can see it dropping and not smashing) or rolled it on ants on purpose (not sure why they would do this but it's not unheard of). Now you've got me thinking 🤔
Smickey67@reddit
Have you never heard of contactless delivery? Delivery drivers just leave food on the ground on the front porch all the time and it would be so easy for ants to get in. Even if you pick your food up very quickly ants could have still gotten in.
This isn’t some huge mystery. The cookie got placed somewhere ants could access.
BbqCthulhu@reddit (OP)
We had the delivery driver hand it directly to us. We were watching and waiting by the front window when we saw them at the bottom of the porch stairs, she suddenly stopped to bend down and looked like she was picking something up as well as brushing something off. We checked after she left and there was a small ant mound at the bottom of the stairs, also the ants were carrying a macaron crumb. So the delivery driver definitely dropped them on the ground, picked them up/brushed off and put them back in the box, then handed it to us without telling us she'd dropped them 😅
Anxiety_bunni@reddit
The macaron is from dominoes, it’s likely hard as a rock and almost indestructible, hit those ants like a meteor lmao
Fucky0uthatswhy@reddit
But like I can STEP on a bunch of ants with my shoe, and the will fill in the cracks/smash down. Some will die, but they won’t all die uniformly because they are just so small, and it requires an even force to smash them. I may not be using the proper terms, but I know this shit is weird lol
qwopperi@reddit
You’re right man something’s off can’t say what though
BbqCthulhu@reddit (OP)
Pre-frozen macarons
BbqCthulhu@reddit (OP)
I'm literally telling you the macarons were dropped. There are slight scuff marks on the macaron, and the macarons that weren't pictured had been cracked. I can't believe I have to keep explaining myself when my macarons were literally dropped onto the ground 😭
Fucky0uthatswhy@reddit
My theory is they crushed up dead ants and put it on there
BbqCthulhu@reddit (OP)
Someone pointed out the macarons would be pre-frozen. Looked it up and they are indeed pre-frozen. Idk what to tell you, the ants were dead, I mean, they're smaller than average ants 😅
reddit_poopaholic@reddit
My guess would be that either:
1. Show acting ant killer took on while the ants were eating
2. Ants were eating a toxic substance (such as a macaron Oreov from Domino's)
3. Nothing wrong with the macaron but all those dead ants were diabetic
lacb1@reddit
marlfox_00@reddit
I think it’s likely they were previously frozen. I highly doubt they bake those in house and macarons don’t have a long shelf life
BbqCthulhu@reddit (OP)
I'm pretty sure they were pre-frozen bc when I last ordered them they were still cold in the middle
Stoned_Nerd@reddit
Frozen probably
adamantitian@reddit
Sugar crash
ElegantCoach4066@reddit
Happened to me, in my case it wasn't the delivery persons fault, I ordered pizza and tried to have it arrive while I was getting home from work. Forgot that ants would probably get to it before I got there.
Not my finest hour.
marlfox_00@reddit
Damn, that sucks. The dominos near me has a drive up window so it’s usually a quick grab and go.
BbqCthulhu@reddit (OP)
In Australia we have only one dominos with a drive thru in a place called Casino! That place has a reputation 😅
ElegantCoach4066@reddit
I would go pick it up but I don't have a car right now. I miss my car.

What's Grogu
GoldFishPony@reddit
Baby yoda
Videoplushair@reddit
What’s crazy is grogu is 50 years old in human years.
AbstinentNoMore@reddit
Is that crazy? It's just a story. The writer can make up anything.
TheNewYellowZealot@reddit
Two things:
Yoda was like 900 years old when he ~~died~~ became one with the force
Why do they use years as a measurement in star wars? Earth is in a galaxy far far away, and every planet likely circles its star(s) in a different amount of time.
Mister_Doc@reddit
The truest answer to the second question is that only the most ardent nerds want to consume media where they need to worry about things like mentally converting from a Solar year to a Gxangülïan zonk any time the unit is referenced so most fiction just uses the units/references we all know and doesn’t worry about that part.
Obi-Tron_Kenobi@reddit
They use a standard year across the galaxy based on Coruscant's year, which is, weirdly enough, 368 days long (where a day on Coruscant is coincidentally 24 hours), so we don't have to think too much about converting it to our years lol
They probably chose a "year" because almost every culture would likely have had their own "years" before becoming a galaxy-wide civilization, so it makes sense that they would want to also base long stretches of time off of the "year." They just needed to agree on how long a "year" was.
But it could also be interpreted the same way Tolkein explains away our human terms being in Lord of the Rings: that it's merely an artifact from localizing/translating their language into ours
DesperateSmiles@reddit
What's crazy is that people cannot understand that aliens aren't human and don't age the same as us.
VALUABLEDISCOURSE@reddit
It's not real
Majestic_Parsley9156@reddit
Maybe the Macaroon has aged in Grogu years, hence the dead ants. They had plenty of time to perish because the Macaroon is 50 years old. The ants got stuck in the pastillage (or plaster maybe,?LOL) used to keep the Macaroon shelf stable for 1/2 a century.

Additional_Cat4438@reddit
Wow, extra protein! But in all seriousness: This looks like pharaoh ants to me. Take the cookies outside of your house asap plus all the packaging they came in. They are extremely hard to get rid of, you'll need professional pest control for that and it'll take months. I'm speaking from experience unfortunately.
Billikinizer@reddit
Seconding this, had them in an apartment, they are terrible, and borderline impossible to get rid of.
BIG_AND_RED@reddit
I can see it being hard in apartments but a stand alone house it’s easy to get rid of ants inside. Pest control tech here
mydearwatson616@reddit
Please tell me how
doritobimbo@reddit
I had a literal dream that they were nesting in the carpet under a thick wire for a lamp. Checked it and bingo. Even found their infant queen they were working on. Didn’t have an issue ever again.
Billikinizer@reddit
I diddnt risk it when we moved, brought over our microwave to the house and like 4 ants crawled out, bagged it and just tossed it and got a new one. Pharaoh ants are the glitter of ants.
Majestic_Parsley9156@reddit
The Macaroon or the ants? LOL

BbqCthulhu@reddit (OP)
It's a promotion here in Australia for the new Mandalorian movie. Not sure if other countries are doing this too, but the macarons are so good!

Dude, until you just said Australia I thought the word "mandalorian" was Bulgarian or something, lmao.

Good thing ants are edible
BbqCthulhu@reddit (OP)
Mmm spicy macaron 🔥
Toronto-1975@reddit
LOL who orders macarons from Dominos?? i mean even if they actually sell them...somewhere...there's like a 0% chance they'll be good. macarons are fucking HARD to make well, it's not like making a cookie.
BbqCthulhu@reddit (OP)
I was sceptical at first but the macarons are actually amazing! (I've ordered them before, I didn't eat the ant macarons 😂)
Luna-Hazuki2006@reddit
Ants can also be eaten, they add the exotic flavor

HTD-Vintage@reddit
How sure are you that they were delivered like that? Did it sit outside at all after delivery, or did you set it down in your home for awhile while you were eating the pizza or anything like that? If not, I bet the driver's car has ants. Either way, if you're sure they came like that, I hope you called and let them know at least.
BbqCthulhu@reddit (OP)
We suspect the delivery person dropped them at our front porch. We were looking out the window bc the sensor light went off and we're waiting to grab the food, the delivery person stopped and bent down at our stairs, it looked like she was picking something up and brushing it off. She said nothing about it but after opening the macarons we decided to check the bottom of the porch stairs. Lo and behold there was a small ant mound (same ants on the macaron) and they were literally carrying a blue macaron crumb 😭
HTD-Vintage@reddit
That'll do it! Harmless mistake, I suppose. I'm sure some people would still call to complain, but I couldn't do that. They probably shouldn't have set anything down on the porch, but it's also not their fault there's an anthill right there. Bummer though. Try them another day if you were excited about them (maybe a pickup this time, lol).
Last summer my mom dropped off some sticky buns she made at my house while I was at work. Left them on the kitchen counter. When I got home and opened the container (disposable, similar to what you'd get cookies or muffins or pie in from a grocery store or bakery; not tight fitting Tupperware or anything) and found a bunch of tiny ants. I just bagged it and took it outside to the trash can, but there was a line of them coming and going from my kitchen counter to to almost 30 feet away, across the hardwood about 20 feet into the other room, then about 4 feet along two sides of a run, then a ross the hardwood to the side of the electric fireplace, up the wall behind the fireplace, to what was apparently a tiny crack in the bottom of the windowsill that I had no idea existed. Still unclear how/why they came in or found that crevice, but it took a few days for them to stop making the long journey looking for sweets in my kitchen. I eventually resealed the windowsill after I got rid of them all, but it was a huge pain in the ass. Mom dropped them off to my siblings and a friend and nobody else had ants, so I have to assume they sensed the sweetness from outside and found a way in.
I hope I never have to deal with sugar ants again. Extremely annoying. At one point I rigged up a handheld vacuum to just sit at their entry point and and suck, but after an hour of it, I couldn't take the sound anymore. I hoped cleaning the floors and wall would throw the pheromones off, but that did absolutely nothing. It mostly took care of itself; just very slowly.
BbqCthulhu@reddit (OP)
No you misunderstand, they didn't place down the macarons, they dropped them, as in they were about to walk up the stairs when the macaron box fell off the pizza boxes and onto the ground. With dominos we have them pass the food to us instead of leaving it on the porch. She also didn't tell us she dropped the macarons 😅
That sucks about those sticky buns that your mum gave you. Ants are sneaky like that! They can get into any crevice, very annoying! We've set up all kinds of ant baits (up high so our pets couldn't reach) and it just never really worked
I hope you get to enjoy those sticky buns again (without ants this time) 🥰
HTD-Vintage@reddit
Oooh yes, I misunderstood 😂 Sorry, that's terrible. The driver could have just been honest and told you, and then sacrificed a little time to have them redelivered... Seems like an easy enough solution rather than giving a customer ant cookies 🙈
BbqCthulhu@reddit (OP)
That's okay! And yes I would've preferred that they told me, mistakes happen! I'm guessing she either didn't care or was afraid to say anything. I wouldn't have minded waiting for more, but ah well. I'm just glad I decided to check before eating 😂
DavidDarnellBrown@reddit
