'''I. C. Wiener''' is a fictional employee of [[Applied Cryogenics]]. While he worked at [[Panucci's Pizza]], [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] is called to deliver a pizza to this person, and understands the prank call too late. Instead of making the trip a ''complete'' waste, he eats the pizza.
 
In "[[Anthology of Interest I]]", Fry asks what would've happened had he not fallen into the freezer-tube, and it is revealed that the existence of the universe itself is reliant on his having done so. When a Fry-hole (or Hawking-hole, depending on whom you believe) opens to reveal monsters, and [[Dr. John Zoidberg|one of them]] claims to be "Icy Whatever" in order to acquire the cheese pizza.
 
Fired from [[Planet Express]] in "[[The Cryonic Woman]]", Fry gets a job at Applied Cryogenics. He then orders a pizza under the name I. C. Wiener, which [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] delivers.
 
In "[[The Why of Fry]]", it is finally revealed that the original "I. C. Wiener" was none other than [[Nibbler]], who placed the call in order to lure Fry into Applied Cryogenics, where he could be frozen for a thousand years to fulfill his destiny of saving the entire universe.

=== Trivia ===
[[File:W Disney.jpg||right|thumb|"W. Disney", the original prank name]]
*I. C. Wiener's address, and in turn, Applied Cryogenics', is actually [[David X. Cohen]]'s mother's address.
*When Nibbler gives the name to [[Mr. Panucci]] in "[[The Why of Fry]]", he gives it in a very formal way resembling typing instructions: "I-period-C-period Wiener".  Strangely, Panucci sees nothing odd about this, though he does notice that Nibbler does "sound like you've got some kinda tiny head on your shoulders".
*In the [[Storyboard:Space Pilot 3000#Scenes 1-16|original storyboard]] for "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", the false name that is called into Panucci's Pizza is "[[W. Disney]]", for "Walt Disney", a reference to the urban legend about Disney being cryogenically frozen.
