Shinkansen too hard ice cream (en.wikipedia.org)

Some people have tried pouring hot coffee over it to make a sort of ad hoc affogato, but according to reports, this did not work as the coffee froze on top instead of melting the ice cream.

(Aluminium spoons immediately sold out)

Pro tip from a seasoned domestic train traveller from Finland: don't you go nowhere without a camping spoon/fork combo. Got a random military surplus one and travel has been smooth ever since. (Also have a table knife, a wooden mug, and a thermos mug. Oh and a Swiss army knife, but that's just regular every day stuff.)
