#omg hc what if Splinter only makes the boys get ice cream so he can actually tell how long they’ve been out

[oddly-casual]

Mutant mayhem spoilers

(Do they always drink bad milk?)

I wanna preface this by saying I know I’m not supposed to look into it this deeply, but I don’t care.

In the beginning of the film, the boys are out getting groceries with a list from splinter. After they get everything they need, Leo tries to direct them home, but Raph says “we’ve only been out for an hour, let’s stay out.”

But my beef comes from the fact that milk and ice cream were on that grocery list. Especially outside in the New York air, you can’t really keep refrigerated dairy products out like that or they start to go bad.

But then They decide to go to a movie. Specifically they go see Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, which is an hour and 43 minutes in run time. We know for a fact the boys already have the milk because we see Mikey holding it. Not to mention Donnie says the movie screening is in Brooklyn, Implying that they have to travel to Brooklyn- so we’re not counting travel time to the outdoor screening.

So realistically, If they had milk and ice cream in their possession, and then went to go watch that movie then that ice cream should’ve been melted and that milk should’ve gone bad at the hour mark. Especially when we see that the turtles are leaving around the time the movie finishes (ie the subway where the people watching the movie are now hanging out. Unless they decided to leave early too, which is unlikely)

Still, let’s account for some time just in case. hypothetically, let’s say they came in around the middle of the movie, that’s still around an hour that they would’ve spent outside, and sneaking back home.

In conclusion; that milk would’ve went bad, and that ice cream should’ve been leaking out the tub.
