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 9 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...

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.

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

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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 16 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.

I fear many won't understand the reference here.

Didn't realize I haven't seen the third movie in the trilogy.

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.

Your words are poison.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 44 points 1 day ago (5 children)

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.

You're right, many people can be wrong.

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

[–] dastanktal@lemmy.ml 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean you're just objectively wrong then 🤷

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