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.

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

That's the best part, you monsters.

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?

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

The world needs more ice cream cone engineers 🫡

[–] Event_Horizon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

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...

I like them, I'll die on this hill.

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.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

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.

I like them.

And it's either that or wobbly waffles as soon as the ice melts a bit.

Thats what keeps the melted icecream from dripping out the bottom though..

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.

It also serves as a plug to keep it from dripping melted ice cream.

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

These people never experienced having the bottom of the cone wet and breaking off before you're even finished. I may not be a fan of chocolate itself, but I still think it's an elegant solution to the issue.

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.

This is the same kind of deviant that doesn’t eat the middle of a cinnamon roll.

You're right, many people can be wrong.

Look i dont usually support reform when they talk about deporting people for not having British values, but just this once......

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago

That chocolate at the bottom is so well loved that a company sells cone ends filled with chocolate.

I thought it was a great addition! I remember when the ice cream dripped savagely through the hole, making a mess of your hand...

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 36 points 1 day ago (3 children)

You know soemtimes I catch myself typing furiously and after the 3rd sentence I realize that I really don't give a flying fuck about the whole subject.

Just eat a different ice cream instead of "petitioning" Cornetto.
