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

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago

Probably thawed slightly at some point, most likely from shop to freezer.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 days ago

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 fear many won't understand the reference here.

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

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

I like them.

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

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