I've heard this 1 b-4.
I thought a cold rabbit didn't get a b-day present
woulda stumped me but the teaser gavve it to me in an instant
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
EZ!!!!
It's interesting that the complainers usually are those who have submitted teasers, but alas they do not have the smiley symbol, so how fun are THEIR teasers? I liked this one.
i don't mean to be rude but ya'll need to stop critizising peoples teasers yes it was easy but if you wanted to do a hard on you would have gone to a higher rated difficulty teaser. plus this site is a moderated family oriented forum.
wow really easy...didnt their parents teach them not to litter??
I always found melted snowmen to be a sad sight
This one is too popular.(as in plentiful, not cool type.)
The easiest answer to the question "Where are they?" is ...on the ground.
this was cute!
you should have added more. someone could have just put them there
I agree with babygirl this one was fun. Hey where's the love? stop hatin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
too easy, but cute..would be nice to hear on christmas
easy but cute
i agree wid babygirl as well. if you want a harder teaser, go somewhere else! i thought it woz a good brain teaser karin, and everybody who says different are haters
i never would have guesses that!!
i agree with changegirl stop sippin' the hatorade y'all. true it was easy but you got to bring goo karma or i'll tell braingle to give you bad karma
kinda obvious
easy
Very very very very very very very easy.
super easy, even without the hint.
sO SOS SOSOSOSOSOSO CUTE
that was so cute, easy but cute, thanks to the sender!
I thought the easter bunny was helping sant give coal to a serial killer who had just killed some1 wearin the scarf and then killed santa who dropped the coal and then the easter bunny who dropped the carrot and then he left them all there on the ground because he only killed because he was addicted to killing but didnt want to be a killer anymore and secretly hoped that the police would find them there and get the CSI involved so that they will find the fingerprints he purposely left on each clue so he could go to jail and stop killing. THE END!
once again, i got it right with the hint!! very good teaser!!
whoa blackmarket....

i thout it was a carrot for da reindere, scarf for da little girl and coal for da boy, after all, girls are cool!
DUDE!!! thats kinda easy dont u think?!?!
WAY TOO EASY!!!! especially with the hint
very easy, but still cute.
its one i got pretty quick... its fun
Awww that's cute...
I thought it there because a bunny nestled in a scarf from a homeless person and the coal was used for fire (the hint said Winter). The homeless person went off somewhere else and the rabbit made a home. Then the rabbit ran off ot anther place to nestle or ran off and died.

The answer was very obvious after the hint, but it was still really cool.
Its funny i was thinking of snowmen when i took this and i didnt even need the hint!
Easy, fun and cute all at the same time. I'll show it to a few people on Christmas.
easier than "lem ade" from the rebus section. cute though
I love CCat20's answer!
This is close to a duplicate, I think.

I thought it was gifts from santa to naughty kids for chrstmas
I immediately thought of Santa, dropping some things on his way to a house: coal for the bad children, carrots for his reindeer, and his own scarf!
Adding a large puddle of water would be better
At any given time, there's probably millions of those on the ground worldwide. What's so special about it? Doesn't say they're on the ground adjacent to each other, so the scarf being in Canada, the carrot in Australia and the coal in Germany would be valid.
