Ice cream and ice cream cone don’t go well together

r/

You can have the most delicious ice cream, and the flavor that will stay with you is the one of the dry (unless it’s mushed by melted ice cream), miserable ice cream cone. It’s the biggest institutionalized lie by big ice cream that for some unfathomable reason everybody accepts? Seriously?

    Try getting waffle cones with the ice cream

    That’s actually my favorite part of the ride

    What I’m hearing is that you don’t push the ice cream down into the cone with your tongue while eating it, so you can literally still have some ice cream with every single bite of the cone.

    Dat chocolate at the bottom of the cone.

    Or that last bit of a cake cone with ice cream in the center of it.

    Come on OP, open your eyes!

    Yeah, I’d imagine on an issue like this involving such a universally timeless and joyfully shared experience you meet the criteria for membership in the unpopular minority who doesn’t get it. Fair enough.

    I think it does. You cannot lick ice cream from a cup. And the taste from cones has improved so much it’s pretty good.

    I like waffle cones and i like to put the ice cream in a cup and break the cone into pieces and add it in like sprinkles. .

    Where have you gotten ice cream where a cone is forced on you? Just get a cup…

    Waffle cone! Waffle cone!

    Waffle cone.

    And cones are just more portable! I only need one hand to hold and eat it and all that’s left when I’m done is maybe a napkin. Much better for a day out.

    I hate all cones so I’m with u on this. I’d rather eat more ice cream

  14. mikapaprikaa Avatar

    i agree i always get a cup. also the ice cream dripping down the cone ruins the whole experience for me

    buy sugar cone instead. It’s crispy and sweet and don’t soften quick so good when there’s chocolate coating in it too

  16. NullIsUndefined Avatar

    Do you like other foods that combine creamy and crunchy? Like certain, cakes, chocolate bars, oreos, ice cream sandwich, ice cream cake, etc.?

  17. CoolMaintenance4078 Avatar

    Any ice cream server will just put it in your hands instead of in a cone if you ask them.

    Honestly, I didn’t like waffle cones when I was a kid but now that I’m 30, love them. They go together like a horse and carriage

    I think you might be suffering from eating it too fast. You have to let the cream merge with the cone, just enough so the cone keeps most of its crunch and the ice cream is soft but not melted.

    It’s really not that unfathomable. Having an edible vessel for the ice cream rather than more plastic waste is a good thing.

    I prefer a cone but always ask for a small bowl. They I turn the cone upside down in the bowl and smash it together. Yuuuuuum.

    Sugar cones are awful and have the texture of styrofoam. Waffle cones are damned tasty, though. If you get a fresh one with some flax seeds in it, it’ll probably be more delicious than the ice cream you put in it lol.

  23. KindStormRider Avatar

    I agree! I never get them. Once I discovered how difficult they were for me to eat as kid going to Baskin Robbins, I switched to single scoop in a cup. Never looked back.

    The cone was invented long before plastic cups. It’s basically a cardboard pedestal. Also, it makes it easy for children who can’t handle their own spoon and bowl. 

    It’s actually a genius invention that solved a lot of problems for ice cream purveyors.

    But yes, it is not great. Some places I’ve been make better ones.

    I can see this argument with the classic “cake” cone but a sugar cone or waffle cone is insanely good

    What kind of cardboard cones are you eating? Are you American?

    I don’t know what kinda crappy cones you’re buying but mine are delicious.

    cake cones >>> waffle cone

    all day

    If they did not go together I would not buy them OP. I buy stuff I enjoy.

    If we’re talking about those styrofoam flat bottom cake cones then I agree fuck those things

    Especially sorbet or sherbet in a cone 🤢

    Actually any fruit flavored ice cream that isn’t swirled in or used as a mix in

  35. cairnschaos Avatar

    100% agree, this is why I will always pick tub over a cone. I get to eat enjoy just the ice cream, eat it at my own pace without having to lick away it at like a mad… licker. It’s just the superior option in every way.

  36. aeyockey Avatar

    100% agree. Haven’t ordered a cone in years. Waffle cake sugar it’s all crap

  37. wild-thundering Avatar

    They were made cause back in the day you had to lick ice cream off cups and give then back. So you wouldn’t know if it was clean and people got sick lol it was actually a great idea

  38. False-Tourist9825 Avatar

    IDK why but when I was younger I didn’t like ice cream and somehow convinced my mom to get me a cone (without ice cream)💀

  39. Johnnadawearsglasses Avatar

    Don’t eat styrofoam cones from big companies. Eat the house made sugar or waffle cones. And when you get close to the cone, push the ice cream down to create a delicious filled treat.

    Only place I will ever get a cone from rather than a bowl is Dairy Queen. Yeah, the cone can still get mushy, but it’s usually pretty good as long as you’re not taking an extended amnt of time eating it.

    (Also I may be biased because I worked at a DQ for most of high school)
