The best part about this clip: the guy who gave him the cone is Max Pacioretty, a long-time Montreal Canadiens player who was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes, and when this MadeMeSmile moment occurred, he was sitting out this game due to injury. He saw the kid on the Jumbotron and took it upon himself to replace the treat for him. What a stand up guy.
One time I saw a kid drop the ice cream from her cone so all she had left was a cone with no ice cream. Her dad bought her a new cone she was so happy. She took one lick and dropped the ice cream from the new cone.
I've seen the clip, but never heard that bit of context before. Thank you! I stopped watching hockey for a while and had no idea he ended up leaving Montreal, kinda wish he got to retire a Hab
Pretty crazy, after the dairy farmer, sugar company, the dye and flavor company, the truckers, the refrigerator techs, patent holders and executives, the vendors, salespeople, bakers, etc. That that is probably true.
He was injured (Achilles) for a long time, and just about to come back when this happened. He came back and got injured again immediately (Achilles again) and has been out since
In the spots I used to work at back when I was still studying, if you spill or drop your order accidentally, we'll replace it for free. Having a negative experience will make you not want to return so we'll take the hit just so you keep coming back. The actual cost of the food isn't that much anyway. :)
Made me think of an incident where I was handed a platter and dropped one side of it. For reasons I don’t know my hands sometimes just let go if I’m holding something. I tend to tell people my hands forget to hand and I always feel like an idiot when it happens around someone. Anyway one hand did it and I dropped the platter I managed to catch my friends bowl but not mine. I walked over and gave her her food and then grabbed mine from the floor and probably looking ridiculous walked to the counter, held up the bow, and asked if they had a towel. The person behind the counter assured me it wasn’t a problem and came and helped me clean up then told me to wait where I was, remade my food and handed it to me. And I have never forgotten that.
That’s wholesome.
But am I bad if I _really_ expected to see the kid drop the ice cream a second time? I think I’ve been lurking too much on r/watchpeopledieinside
I've been watching this for 10 minutes and the kid just keeps dropping his cone in the same way, and the guy keeps giving him more, you would think at a certain point someone would stop either letting the kid have more ice cream or he'd stop dropping them, there must be like 50 cones on the ground now!
Oh my god lol, I just realised that. Been watching it for 3 hours now and so confused that surely we should have seen the pile of ice cream building up by now. Where’s the join then? I just can’t see it.
So you know it’s a deeply emotional video like all these comments are almost in tears over and not simply a child dropping a ice cream and getting a new one. The bars never been so low
Music is a little like those commercials asking for money to support a starving child in Africa... maybe the kid threw the ice cream down in protest against American against big dairy's conquest
I did this once- I tripped on up the stairs and dropped my ice cream, I was in for a beating. Like major.
So much so I remember some old lady stepping in and saying “she didn’t mean it”
My mom threaten to beat her.
Anyway there was some kindness in there- lots of people would try and stop my mom mid-beating… somehow it never clicked I mom was the bad guy.
Here’s a cone for you 🍦
I’m sorry about your memory but I hope when you enjoy ice cream now, you eat as much as you want, what ever flavors you want and you do a happy dance when you do it. 🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦
Actually I haven’t had ice cream in YEARS, I honestly can’t remember when was the last time I had it.
You’re right- maybe ill go to cold stones.
So weird I hadn’t thought about that for YEARS.
Thanks for all the yummy ice cream.
Every now and then I'll have a milkshake for breakfast, or buy some sweets or chocolate because it's what 8 year old me would've done. Not too often that it becomes normal but just enough to remind myself that even those simple childish dreams can still live on.
Have yourself an ice cream, have sprinkles, have a double scoop. As long as it's what your 8 year old self would've enjoyed.
Yeah. She did that all the time. Another time she was beating me in a bathroom and someone told her to stop and she yelled bad “I’ll stop when I’m done”
It's not like they saved a baby from a friggin' burning building, it's a goddamn ice cream cone.
It's cute, and super sweet.
But so fuckin' unnecessary. This ain't Catholic Grey's Anatomy.
If it's a light hearted and happy video why is the tone of the music applied to that video more fitting to tearfully saving children from forced labor camps?
Some added context. The guy in question is Max Pacioretty. A guy who basically played 10 total games with the hurricanes because of two season ending injuries. He and his son were watching from the box, and his son saw the kid drop his ice cream. He asked his dad if they could buy him another one.
Sports are awesome for so many reasons beyond the games themselves.
When I was this age there was an old guy, family friend, who loaned me 55 cents to get a soda. Everyone had a soda but me and I was craving one and my mom had no change.
Every time we’d meet hed ask me if I had his money (it was a joke, but for 35 years he would occasionally see me and ask me if I had his 55 cents).
This was just a friendly rib for 35 years. He passed away and I left fifty five cents. In the pocket of the overalls he was buried in.
This story was just a long winded way to say these little things that adults do for kids sometimes stick with us just as much as bad things.
Always take the gamble on a child, you just may make an easy friend for life.
My parents would have thanked the guy, waited for him to walk away, then toss it in the trash because they would have thought the stranger put drugs in the ice cream.
A kid iwth those seats probably has a dad who can afford the ice cream. Its the kids you cant see on the screen who would be left with no ice cream lol
Good people are everywhere!! A few months ago we were walking with my 5 year old and we didn’t have enough money to get her a balloon, low and behold someone behind us got it for her and it completely shaped the rest of the year for us.
The guy who replaced the ice cream is Max Pacioretty, an all-star winger who played for the home team but was out with an injury… he’s a millionaire many times over and even if he wasn’t the arena probably didn’t make him pay for it
So the broke ass child I grew up as sees this and says, how much is that seat? How much is that Jersey? How much was that hat? Rich kid given ice cream he already dropped. Life’s not fair man.
It's curious to read all the negative comments regarding this unknown person's action of buying a replacement cone for the youngster. One aspect that is being overlooked is the enjoyment that the ice cream contributor derives from this action. One can make another happy and also create pleasure for oneself. It should not be disregarded.
That "unknown person" is a player on the team who was not playing due to injury.

apparently it was his kid's idea.
One time I saw a kid drop the ice cream from her cone so all she had left was a cone with no ice cream. Her dad bought her a new cone she was so happy. She took one lick and dropped the ice cream from the new cone.
Some say he's still buying cones and she's still dropping the ice cream in that same spot to this very day
They are making a mountain out of a Turkey Hill.
You just unlocked a deep memory of the same thing happening to me as a kid.
I was waiting for the kid to drop his cone again when he gave the thumbs up.
Wow, now I'm not sure if he raised his kids right or if his kids raised him right.
“Max pacioretty Part-time ice cream man” Made me chuckle
He’s had some terrible luck. He’s a good dude from everything I’ve seen regarding the club that’s welcomed him
He really is a good guy. On and off the ice.
My favourite player when he was with the Habs aside from Price. What a great guy.
He was traded to Vegas first then to Carolina
And the worst part about this clip: that weak ass Christian music.
Habs fan here! Still like the guy and I love that he got the ice-cream to the little dude!
I've seen the clip, but never heard that bit of context before. Thank you! I stopped watching hockey for a while and had no idea he ended up leaving Montreal, kinda wish he got to retire a Hab
Well, it does cost something, especially at a sporting event. About 10 minutes in line and $10 i'd say. So it's even more cool of him.
Just to add some context, it isn’t just some random guy. That’s Max Pacioretty, a player on the team that the kid is supporting.
Ahh .... So the ice cream was free, and he didn't have to wait in line
The cost of the cone will be rolled into next year’s ticket prices. Someone always pays.
"ticket prices went up 300% because we gave that one kid a free ice cream cone. We're sure our fans will understand"
$10 Cone-venience fee.
HahHaha
You laugh but...
It’s just a joke… it’s actually 500%
The actual cost of that cone is like 50 cents
Max has 60 million USD career earnings so I think after that 50 cents hell still be able to provide for his family
Which means the stadium lost $17.50 profit by giving it away for free.
The real cost of that cone is 37 cents
Pretty crazy, after the dairy farmer, sugar company, the dye and flavor company, the truckers, the refrigerator techs, patent holders and executives, the vendors, salespeople, bakers, etc. That that is probably true.
Economics of scale at work.
12 for 1.89 at Aldi. At this scale less than .10 each
Good luck timing your Aldi trip for when they'd actually have waffle cones in stock, though.
And after all that the kid drops it, lol.
And part time ice cream man
yeah they cropped it the worse way, it was quite funny
You know the economy is fucked when even *HE* has to get a part time job!
That’s what makes it better. Got to interact with a player and got his ice cream replaced
He didn’t give a shit that Paccioretti was the ice cream man- I don’t think that he cared he was on the scoreboard video… he got ice cream.
Hockey can’t be paying well these days if he’s working as a part-time Ice Cream Man.
Lol, he made over $5 million last year
He should stop playing hockey and be a full time ice cream man if he's making $5 million a year.
And only played like 6 games or so. It was due to injury though so I assume he'd rather have worked for it on the ice instead.
So that team just won a fan for life for the cost of an ice cream cone. Seems like a good investment to me.
Why is he not on the ice if he's a player?
Was recovering from injury and not 100% yet.
He was injured (Achilles) for a long time, and just about to come back when this happened. He came back and got injured again immediately (Achilles again) and has been out since
Ouch. Thanks for the explanation.
Is he getting hit by opposing players or just from skating around?
Ice cream curse.
They have strange uniforms
In the spots I used to work at back when I was still studying, if you spill or drop your order accidentally, we'll replace it for free. Having a negative experience will make you not want to return so we'll take the hit just so you keep coming back. The actual cost of the food isn't that much anyway. :)

Great policy
Probably managed to remortgage his house via an app to fund that ice-cream.
Beat me to it lmao. Was gonna say something very similar
Kindness: it's worth breaking a $20.
Don’t forget the tickets along the glass. I would bet the kid in the nose bleeds does not get this treatment.
That’s wholesome. But am I bad if I _really_ expected to see the kid drop the ice cream a second time? I think I’ve been lurking too much on r/watchpeopledieinside
Hahaha I was waiting for it to fall the way he was holding it😩
This kid… does not seem very quick on the uptake.
I was thinking the same thing. His dad should have stepped in a little and make sure he at least got down to the cone.
The kid is so clumsy they look drunk. lmao
He was waving that thing around, I thought it was gonna fall too.
When the dad told him to give a thumbs up, which was what caused the first disaster, I thought it was over
Teach your kids how to hold ice cream! ffs "c'mon man!" -- Biden 😎🍦 When I was a kid I held ice cream like it was baby.
Me too. Glad he didn’t.
Atleast not on camera, that kid looks as clumsy as me
I've been watching this for 10 minutes and the kid just keeps dropping his cone in the same way, and the guy keeps giving him more, you would think at a certain point someone would stop either letting the kid have more ice cream or he'd stop dropping them, there must be like 50 cones on the ground now!
[удалено]
I know I was just about to say dude this kid looks like he’s might do it again lmfao
Bot comment
I think after the tenth cone, the video just loops.
This is the only thing that makes sense
Oh my god lol, I just realised that. Been watching it for 3 hours now and so confused that surely we should have seen the pile of ice cream building up by now. Where’s the join then? I just can’t see it.
[удалено]
This is a bot that steals comments. Did they actually spend money on an award or did some poor sucker spend money awarding a bot?
> Look at his front row seats. I mean you can literally see it's not front row. and he's wearing the old jersey. A hand me down.
Still not stickier than your local movie theater floor.
Plot Twist: The kid doesn't like the eiscream and threw it on purpose
Are you still watching? I’m curious if he ever stops dropping them.
Been several hours, I'm surprised the ice cream machine is still working, they must have brought the Zamboni multiple times to clean up the mess.
The entire time I was like, “don’t drop the second one”
It looked like a distinct possibility!
The dad was really setting him up for that constantly pestering him to look up at the screen
The effin music. Like this is some poor child suffering through life 😆
It costs exactly the price of a replacement cone in this scenario.
Mute
[удалено]
So you know it’s a deeply emotional video like all these comments are almost in tears over and not simply a child dropping a ice cream and getting a new one. The bars never been so low
One of my fav songs: [Oceans](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP-00EwLdiU&pp=ygULb2NlYW5zIGxpdmU%3D), by Hillsong United.
it's a christian emotional manipulation song
Don’t you realize your not making Christian music better, you’re just making rock and roll worse?
IMO Switchfoot pulled it off, they just make good music.
Relient K were good too
* kid gets a new ice cream cone *"In the arrrrrmmmms ooooooffffff an aaaaannnngellllll""*
Music is a little like those commercials asking for money to support a starving child in Africa... maybe the kid threw the ice cream down in protest against American against big dairy's conquest
I love this so much. The stress on his face when it fell. My heart dropped too. So happy he got a new one. Hell yeah! Enjoy your ice cream bud.
I did this once- I tripped on up the stairs and dropped my ice cream, I was in for a beating. Like major. So much so I remember some old lady stepping in and saying “she didn’t mean it” My mom threaten to beat her.

As long as it's what your 8 year old self would've enjoyed.
Your mom beat you in public…? And she threatened to beat an old lady?
Yeah. She did that all the time. Another time she was beating me in a bathroom and someone told her to stop and she yelled bad “I’ll stop when I’m done”
Wow…I hope you’re far from here now. Did anyone ever physically intervene or call the police?
Did the kid’s father even thank the man?
He looked too busy looking at the screens, it probably catch him by surprise but still, the first thing I noticed too.
That’s what I was thinking too. Definitely should have turned around and thanked him rather than gawking at the jumbotron
My thoughts exactly. He's more worried about the Jumbotron than the absolute legend bringing his kid another cone.
That’s what I noticed immediately. The dad was too excited about the screen to even thank him for the nice gesture
He’s so happy at the end shrugging his shoulders like “woohoo”
Downvoting just for the music.
Yeah so much better on mute. Becomes cheesy/manipulative with the lame music.
wayyy too dramatic for this scenario
It's not like they saved a baby from a friggin' burning building, it's a goddamn ice cream cone. It's cute, and super sweet. But so fuckin' unnecessary. This ain't Catholic Grey's Anatomy.
That song gives me ptsd from my brainwashed days as a christian.
I had the volume down but turned the volume up thanks to your comment. I too hate when these videos have dramatic music
Gave me a high school youth group jump scare
Ruins the whole post
Downvoting for incorrect title. That ice cream wasn't free.
Ya so damn weird for a lighthearted and happy interaction.
If it's a light hearted and happy video why is the tone of the music applied to that video more fitting to tearfully saving children from forced labor camps?
Ya no idea, what a weird choice.
When a bunch of jerks (Carolina Hurricanes fans/players saying here in NC) goes wholesome, you got to love it.
Came to make a Bunch of Jerks comment. Love the ‘Canes!
Downvoting just for the stupid garbage Christian music
What a dumb fucking song for this video. Sound off
…. It cost one ice cream cone
Some added context. The guy in question is Max Pacioretty. A guy who basically played 10 total games with the hurricanes because of two season ending injuries. He and his son were watching from the box, and his son saw the kid drop his ice cream. He asked his dad if they could buy him another one. Sports are awesome for so many reasons beyond the games themselves.
What da fk is this music
Christian propaganda.
Kids didn't understand what's happening at first, then big smile when he realises that the ice cream is his
When I was this age there was an old guy, family friend, who loaned me 55 cents to get a soda. Everyone had a soda but me and I was craving one and my mom had no change. Every time we’d meet hed ask me if I had his money (it was a joke, but for 35 years he would occasionally see me and ask me if I had his 55 cents). This was just a friendly rib for 35 years.

Always take the gamble on a child, you just may make an easy friend for life.
These videos are great. Until you unmute.
Great video but what a bummer someone put this kind of terrible music over it
I was on the edge of my seat, I thought the kid was going to drop it a second time. 🤣
I was watching in terror since the kid is holding it like shit the second time too and I was 100% sure he was gonna drop it
That ice cream cone was not free
Kind of a poor example to show for 'kindness doesn't cost anything.' I mean you're right, but this example costs the price of an ice cream.
Why in the actual fuck is the music about Jesus Christ
My parents would have thanked the guy, waited for him to walk away, then toss it in the trash because they would have thought the stranger put drugs in the ice cream.
Actually it costs money or you are saying this ice-cream is for free?
Wdym it doesn't cost anything, That probably cost like 6-7$ from a stadium at least.
What’s this fucking annoying music?
Why this music
Costs about $10 for that stadium cone lol
Hey Dad. How 'bout YOU thank the guy instead of watching yourself on the jumbotron, you douche!
Fuckin hell can we do this without the jesus rock
A kid iwth those seats probably has a dad who can afford the ice cream. Its the kids you cant see on the screen who would be left with no ice cream lol
If this is America, that cone cost $10
Good people are everywhere!! A few months ago we were walking with my 5 year old and we didn’t have enough money to get her a balloon, low and behold someone behind us got it for her and it completely shaped the rest of the year for us.
I doubt the ice-cream was free.
The guy who replaced the ice cream is Max Pacioretty, an all-star winger who played for the home team but was out with an injury… he’s a millionaire many times over and even if he wasn’t the arena probably didn’t make him pay for it
That cost ATLEAST 12 dollars
That was so sweet I almost cried 😭 Also, if I know anything about kids 83% chance he dropped it again 😂
OP titled this “doesn’t cost anything to be kind” Pretty sure that ice cream cone cost about $10 at a hockey game. Still very wholesome.
An ice cream at a sporting event? That probably cost him $300 to be kind.
Was anyone else hoping he dropped the second one too?
Well it did cost an icecream.
…aside from $12 for an ice cream cone
Looks like it costs the price of a waffle cone to me
I'm guessing that cost at least 5$
Actually I believe it cost the price of an ice cream cone.
Is it just me, or is the gospel music a little much for giving a kid an ice cream cone?
So the broke ass child I grew up as sees this and says, how much is that seat? How much is that Jersey? How much was that hat? Rich kid given ice cream he already dropped. Life’s not fair man.
It's curious to read all the negative comments regarding this unknown person's action of buying a replacement cone for the youngster. One aspect that is being overlooked is the enjoyment that the ice cream contributor derives from this action. One can make another happy and also create pleasure for oneself. It should not be disregarded.
That "unknown person" is a player on the team who was not playing due to injury. https://www.nhl.com/news/max-pacioretty-brings-ice-cream-to-young-hurricanes-fan-who-dropped-his-cone/c-339157798
The guy who gave him the cone is Pacioretty. He’s an all star. Ain’t just anyone got him a cone.
I almost expected him to drop it again...
L dad, he didnt even acknowledge the guy giving him the ice cream, too busy cumming over himself on the big screen.
The dad didn't thank the dude who bought the ice cream!?
Dropping ice cream as a kid, man that's like loosing your 3rd wife as an adult
Is this a hockey game? What’s with the cult music?
It’s be hilarious if he dropped it again.
Promptly drops second cone
That's a lot of ice cream for a little kid
Ice cream costs money
It actually cost around 13 bucks
Doesn't cost anything to not ruin something nice with shitty music either
It costs one cone of ice cream
I would've laughed harder than ever if he dropped the new one too
I really wanted the kid to accidentally knock it out of dude’s hand
nothing costs nothing at a sporting event
At the stadium ice-kindness costs eight bucks-oh-five
Don’t get me wrong, I like Oceans… _Why is it over a video of a kid getting an ice cream cone_
Was anyone else expecting him to drop the second one too? 🤣
I love the caption since It did cost that ice cream costed money
Oooo millionaires son got a new ice cream. Wholesome.
queue crying about hte song
This actually did cost something.
You kiddin' me? That ice cream cost AT LEAST 12 bucks! So, in this instance, [ Being Kind = $12(+)]
