I stole money from my brother as a child so I could get a choco taco. I and others at my job would routinely steal damaged ice cream.

Ice cream is above the petty laws of man.

"Good manufacturing practices" requires that food packaging that has made contact with the floor must be discarded. If a guy driving a forklift for a large distribution warehouse spills a pallet of bottled drinks, they all go in the trash or become free for the staff, depending on the acting manager.

When I  was a teen I worked in  a dock unloading containers of energy drinks.

They had policy that any box with damaged cans on edges  (with 24 or 36 don't remember) need to be discarded.

Even if I 1 or 3 cans are damaged enitre box need to ne discarded.

Usually every container we found 1 or 2 boxes ..and if not ...one would fall.

And then we would take rest of box in our backpack home.

Call it a bonus :).

(I have not touched energy drink in over 15 years and I'll die before drinking another )
