slo’s THURSDAY 9/7 poll - Ice Cream Cones 🍦

[barb969]

I love ice cream cones. I think ice cream tastes better when it is licked or bitten from a cone. I don’t like to eat the cone, although to get all the ice cream it is necessary to eat a little of the cone.

I like cones; ice cream for me is a treat on-the-go and the cone is mostly just a convent way of eating it. I usually eat at least some of the cone, but not always. Given a choice I always choose a small sugar cone but most of my ice cream this summer has been soft-serve from McDonalds and one particularly old-school dairy bar here in town. Neither have anything fancy and there is no choice but a plain (cake) cone.

I love ice cream. I will eat any type of cone but my choice would go from waffle > sugar > cake. The cake ones can get soggy. Yuck.

 

[Schneewittchen37]

Love ice cream cones. Cake cones are my absolute favorite because I'm a weird Gen X type and we always had the artificial colored cake cones in my house growing up.

Anyway, if I have a choice, I always get cake, but I enjoy sugar cones and waffle cones too.

I would really enjoy a Nutty Buddy ice cream cone right about now. It's already sweltering outside. 100 degrees yesterday, but it will only be 97 today....

I ice cream cones, in a regular cake cone, and we have several places near us to get them, but as a diabetic I have to be careful. I almost always get a baby cone, so it isn’t as much sugar or calories. Just a big enough portion to be satisfying.

I like waffle cones, but I rarely get them. When I go out for ice cream it's usually with my dogs and I could not eat a cone before it made a mess. At home I eat ice cream directly from the carton (Ben and Jerry's or Haagen Dazs).

I love soft serve ice cream in a cake cone, especially with vanilla ice cream. The best part is that last bite of cone that’s filled with slightly melty ice cream. Yum!

Regular ice cream cone, salted caramel or rum and raisin ice cream.

I'm not opposed to a good sugar or waffle cone, but for the most part, I just get ice cream in a dish. Most of the time, we're taking it home, so it's impossible to do that with a cone.

 

[lovesmurfs]

Not against them, per se, but I prefer a cup. Pretty similar to @Skywalker3 and @soccerdad72.

 

[scbruno]

Prefer waffle cone but will eat any of the three listed in the post.

I usually get my ice cream in a cup or dish when at a stand or restaurant. On the rare occasions I get a cone it’s usually a sugar cone.

I was a deprived child. My father wouldn’t spring the extra five cents for the sugar cone so I had to get the yucky cake wafer cones.

And an extra ten cents for the jimmies? Furgeddaboudit!!! Same for the chocolate or cherry coating.

I wouldn’t turn down any of them. But I don’t often get the larger waffle cone, and if given a choice between a sugar and cake, I choose sugar, as I like the taste of the cone better.

Love ice cream! My top 2 foods are pizza and ice cream. If I get ice cream in a cone, I prefer a cake cone....and sprinkles. Love sprinkles!

 

[Micca]

Cones are ok but I usually enjoy ice cream in shake/blizzard/sundae form. Each of these provide containment in the event of meltiness

 

[jo-jo]

I find I eat the ice cream slower when I have to lick a cone. In a cup, I can wolf it down . So for health reasons, cones are better.

 

[georgina]

Prefer my scooped ice cream in a cup. That is the vast majority of what I buy when I get ice cream. Always get a twist cone at AK from the blue truck in Asia, that is on a waffle cone. Never get a cake cone.

 

[Imzadi]

When I get a cone now I tell the clerk to flip it over and put it in a cup after making the cone, and to give me a spoon.

It doesn't cost more, the way most times ice cream in a cup is priced more, AND I get the cone.

When they give it to me, I usually just flip it back over. It's still attached to the cone. And if it isn't I just press the cup of ice cream down over the cone and it will attach. Then I take off the cup and can have it as a cone without having to rush through it before it melts. And when it gets to the melting point, in the cup it goes to eat the rest. And I can slowly fill up the bottom part of the cone with the spoon.

I choose waffle over cake cones. But I usually prefer a cup, since ice cream is easier to eat from a cup.
