When a cute face popped up in this TikToker's kitchen window, they not only began filming, but also made a new friend who visits often for a tasty homecooked meal.
TikTok account, Will & Grace & the Raccoon, share their fun experiences with an adorable raccoon who now walks up to the "raccoon drive-thru" and politely sits there waiting for someone to open the window and offer some food.
The Raccoon Drive-Thru Gets Adorable Hungry Customers
What started out an a TikTok account that focused on cute therapy rabbits has now also turned into a raccoon drive-thru experience. The first video shared of the unexpected window visitor was just a few weeks ago, and many follow-up videos have been shared since. The first video received more than 3.5 million views. There is no caption to explain what's going on, but in the comment section, the creator left a message to those who had concerns. "Fun fact: Where we live in BC Canada there has never been a case of racoon with rabies ever recorded. π₯°"
Of course, in typical TikTok fashion, the adorable video got tons of humorous comments. "βHi, can I have a cheeseburger and a small fries to go plsβ ππ₯°π₯°π₯°," one viewer wrote. Another added, "I would literally give it everything in my fridge panty and a credit card to buy its own food. π₯Ίπ₯Ί How cute!"
In the clip, viewers see the sweet raccoon grabbing in the window trying to steal the soap. "He said let me wash up before coming in π₯°," one person hilariously wrote. "Beware the soap bandit," said another.
Word Got Out And More Customers Started To Show Up
The great reviews from the first raccoon to discover this new drive-thru service must have gotten out to others because more hungry raccoon customers began showing up for a meal. One follower suggested giving their business a name, "I vote for it to be called 'The Trash Panda Express.' π" Another viewer added, "Lol I can just picture one say hey where did you get that and they say goto the window and order. πππ"
In a follow-up video captioned, "5 star dining," two raccoons showed up for some half-eaten pizza. The owners of this dining establishment have learned that their customers aren't big fans of healthy foods, but do enjoy pizza, cereal, and other sugary treats.
One viewer had a hilarious suggestion, "Leave out a bowl of water and give them cotton candy. It's hilarious watching them wash it and confused when dissolved." Many others suggested marshmallows, as raccoons are known to love them.
The drive-thru window has become a more entertaining way to "compost" or toss away food scraps. In one video, the owners call it, "best compost business ever." None of the family's Christmas leftovers went to waste with these hungry customers. The raccoon adorably shoved a piece of chocolate cake into his mouth happily and went for second and third handfuls.
Since the first hungry visit, the family has gotten many more visits and from more than just the first raccoon. While they don't yet have names, people have begun asking so it shouldn't be too long before that changes. "Have you named them!? So cute, π₯°" one viewer asked. Another viewer suggested, "Cheerio and Lucky Charm would be cute!!"
