Ice-T discusses that whole thing about him never eating a bagel

A few weeks ago, people caught wind of the fact that Ice-T had never eaten a bagel until Law and Order: SVU, when he was required to eat one. Right? Huge.

Ice-T and co-star Mariska Hargitay appeared on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday, where they were quizzed about the kerfuffle. For Ice-T, he just had to cop the bagel, although he didn't actually swallow.

"On the show they wanted me to eat a bagel. I said I don't eat bagels," Ice-T replied. "But it was in the script, so you know I just did it. But I acted like I ate it, I didn't eat it."

The actor eventually did eat a bagel, explaining he recently filmed an ad for dating app Coffee Meets Bagel, where he well, didn't enjoy it. "I ate one, I had one bite, and it felt like I ate a loaf of bread. Why would I eat an unsweetened donut?" he said.

Most of us can agree bagels are delicious, and nothing like donuts, but who are we to try and convert Ice-T?
