    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.

    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

      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.

      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.

        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.

          You might be mashing it in your memories with the super crispy / sugar coated / super thin waffle cones you get at something like a creamery store in an outlet mall? Those would snap like a crisp chip with a book dropped on it if you dropped them.

      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.

      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.

      You’re supposed to eat the tip first and suck the ice cream out of the cone through the hole in the bottom.

      It could be significantly smaller and still achieve that. Many people wouldn’t like that though (I actually would like a better cone to chocolate ratio).

      I hate chocolate. I don’t want no fuckin chocolate randomly surprising me. It is evil and should be banished.

      Edit: Okay because apparently I need to literally spell this out for people for who cannot make the simple leap on their own…

      I do not buy chocolate ice cream. I buy vanilla ice cream. It comes in a cone. It is vanilla. There is vanilla. That’s it. Maybe peanuts. Then, suddenly, chocolate.

      Does that make more sense now? Jesus H. Christ.

      Edit 2: Downvote me all you want. I’m not trolling, y’all are either utterly fucking incapable of understanding the concept of VANILLA ICE-CREAM, y’all are trolling or you’re living on such a distant plane of reality that you’re inventing shit that I’ve done then your opinion is worthless to begin with.

      Have fun with the single brain cell amongst all of you and let me know whose turn it is tomorrow.

        The chocolate is part of the charm you infidel. If you don’t like it there are other ice cream products that don’t have chocolate. Don’t ruin our Cornetto.

          Buys chocolate ice-cream

          Kind of a crazy assumption on your part that the dude who just finished saying he hates chocolate is buying chocolate ice cream. Like… how the fuck did you get to that conclusion?

          No dude. I buy vanilla ice cream. Vanilla ice cream that has peanuts on top and is in a cone. No chocolate except for the random plug of chocolate. I’m sorry. It’s totally on me for assuming that the logical leap between “Hate chocolate” and “not buying chocolate ice cream” was such an easy one. I will take greater care in future.

            The inside of the cone is coated in chocolate to prevent it from getting soggy from all the melted icecream. It tends to pool at the bottom because that’s how gravity works.

            There is no “random” plug of chocolate. It’s an inherent function of the product. No matter what the flavour of icecream is, the cone itself is inherently a chocolate product.

            So yes, you are, in fact, knowingly purchasing chocolate products, as evidenced by the fact that you’re currently complaining about all the chocolate in these cones that you keep purchasing. If you hate chocolate that much, then maybe just don’t buy it?

            This is entirely a problem of your own making. And people are correct in pointing out that your responses have been nothing but toxic.

            If Cornetto is the best vanilla ice cream you can get, you might have a point. But both you and me know that’s not the case!

            I’m definitely team chocolate here but now I’m really curious. What else could be used to plug the cone instead of chocolate but still taste good with vanilla ice cream? Has any other company tried something other than chocolate?

        Even the vanilla versions of those things have a chocolate shell coating on the top, not just inside the cone. You would’ve known what it was about way before you got to that last part.

        (If that isn’t true for the ones you buy, I want to know what weird, obscure brand you’re talking about.)


        To be fair, though, coating the cone with some other flavor (butterscotch, maybe) could be a neat idea.

        Take a picture and show us what cones you bought so we can make fun of you more. If you refuse, you’ll get made fun of anyway because we will all assume you realized you were in the wrong.

        Ok, you bought a Cornetto once and was surprised by chocolate. Surely you learned after the first time and can just stop buying it? Where’s this obsession coming from, why can’t you move on?
