The drippy tip is the whole point of the cone (no pun intended). Once your ice-cream starts leaking through the bottom, bite off the tip, tilt your head back and suck it down through the cone
Messy as all hell, but immensely satisfying

Rorschach (Holy crap, I've been spelling it Rorsarch forever) is right. God made the drippy tip for a reason.

gaspar, what does it take to make those waffle cones? How much more trash is created by getting all the ingredients and making them than it would take to mass produce a cheap bowl?

Well, seeing as you still have to get everything together to make the bowl, and both are mass-produced, does it really matter?

That being said, Waffle Cones are the best because I'm a lazy bastage and don't feel like having to drop by a trashcan when I'm done eating. :shifty:

So why does DQ have labels on theirs?

Incidentally, incase no one posted this, the cone was invented by a guy who was at an icecream booth when they ran out of cones. Coincidentally, they were next to a booth selling waffles. and the cone was invented.


I wonder if there are people with cone fetishes? Not the icecream, just the cone...

Depends what you intend on doing with it Jonn, I would imagine they get soggy too quickly for most deviant practises

That's why you use the chocolate-dipped ones, Rors.


Sheesh.

Chocolate?

There was a news story here a few years back about some guy being charged with public lewdness, involving a traffic cone but I don't know that the physical details were ever released

At home, coffee mug. In a store thing, a styrofoam bowl or what have you. I've only been to one ice cream place where they had real bowls that you gave back to be washed. Excepting restaurants with ice cream for dessert of course.

[quote="Imperator Severn";p="401635"]Makh, you do realize that paper is not as tasty as waffle, correct?

I mean, I know the economy in Russia is screwed up, but still...[/quote]
[quote="Martin Blank";p="401649"]It's efficient, Sev. You use the paper cone to eat with now, and to... erm... You can probably guess where to use it later. [/Soviet era economic joke][/quote]
Actually, we may use the paper cone a second time but not for what you are thinking Martin. The paper cone is in glossed paper so you can use it for another ice cream. We also have eatable sugar cone but I prefer paper cone because it can be used 2, 3, 4 times.

To eat the food and... its container is probably an American idea :P
