    This is one of those litmus tests that can be used to instantly tell if a person is a human or a lizard-person.

    Pretty sure this was tried over a decade ago already. Back then I used to live in Ireland, and Cornetto made the official statement that the block of chocolate at the bottom was the most practical and cost effective solution they found to prevent melting icecream leaking out through the bottom.

    So I’m seeing here the only real reason people don’t like it is because they can’t suck the ice cream out. I don’t get it. Why not just fucking eat it and not get it all over yourself?

      I think the thing is too sweet. And probably just a trick so you crave another one after you ate it. If they were made of real chocolate or a nice bitter dark chocolate, i’d probably like it.

        I don’t think that even Slannesh themselves would agree with your username. They aren’t the indecisive mollusk that Tzeench is, but they seem to question their own place in reality nonetheless.

    The chocolate is required, it’s ‘fired’ Into the wafer to coat the entire inside of the cone with a layer of chocolate. This protects the Wafter from absorbing water from the ice team and going soggy. Source: Worked 4+ years in a ice cream factory and was curious myself. Plenty of features of food are often a necessity that is marketed as a feature

      You can buy plenty of icecream cones without that chocolate in the bottom. I’m sure it makes it easier, but it is definitely not impossible to industrially massproduce icecream cones without them.

      Huh. I never thought of that as a reason for the chocolate. And it works both ways, the wafer protects the chocolate from melting.

      Smart!

      I really want a Cornetto now…

      And yet somehow every cone I’ve ever eaten has been… Not soggy, but absolutely not crisp in any way. Like wet cardboard. Still some structure but certainly not as firm as it should be.

        I actually hate crispy cones… Cornetto are good, crunchy but not hard.
        More soggy ice cream cones I say. Who’s with me ✊️

        My memory suggests that they used to be crisper in the past. Mainly from remembering times a Cornetto like would drop a bunch of wafer on the floor, they don’t appear to do that anymore.

        Just being a kid could also be a reason for that tho.

          You might be mashing it in your memories with the super crispy / sugar coated / super thin waffle cones you get at something like a creamery store in an outlet mall? Those would snap like a crisp chip with a book dropped on it if you dropped them.

      It was originally an unintended consequence of coating the inside with chocolate to keep the cone from getting soggy. A happy little accident if you will.

      You’re supposed to eat the tip first and suck the ice cream out of the cone through the hole in the bottom.

      This

      Eat least, I think that’s why it’s there, but that makes sense

      Also, it’s nice, a nice last piece of chocolate, what are people complaining about?

      It could be significantly smaller and still achieve that. Many people wouldn’t like that though (I actually would like a better cone to chocolate ratio).

    You know that episode of Seinfeld where Kramer sells muffin tops without the muffins and makes bank?

    Sell me cone bottoms. I’ll buy them all.
