Bangor Ice Tray

A questionably heroic overdose “treatment” that originated in Bangor, Maine during the early 2000s opioid surge. Locals, for reasons still unknown to science (or common sense), began shoving ice cubes into the rectums of overdose victims, believing the shock of cold would magically kickstart breathing.

Spoiler: it doesn’t.
But somehow, even decades later, the practice refuses to die — much like the patients who actually get real Narcan.

EMS crews across Maine still tell tales of rolling over an OD patient just in time to watch a few half-melted cubes fire out like a frosty 12-gauge blast. The Bangor Ice Tray: a chilling reminder that some folk remedies should stay on ice.

“He wasn’t breathing so we tried the Bangor Ice Tray.”
“You mean… you shoved ice up his—?”
“Bangor style, baby.”

Mrs. Traylor

Mrs. Traylor is the best teacher you can ever have. She cares about her students but at the same time gives you space. She is not mean unless you disrespect her. She is sweet, nice, and affectionate, she puts her students first and not her paycheck like other teachers. She barely raises her voice and is very lenient with what you do. She is the type of teacher to let you go outside if you finish your work early. She is not strict with her rules, except when she has to be.

Mrs. Traylor is so fun.
I can't wait for Mrs. Traylor's class.
