Occurred on December 24, 2023 Rexburg, Idaho, USAbr br : "On Christmas Eve, my 8-year-old son was playing outside in the snow... and then decided to lick our neighbor's flagpole. He soon realized that wasn't a good idea and his tongue was immediately frozen to the pole. His sister came running to get us for help. So I got a cup of water and poured over it to free his tongue from the pole.
