Mmm, ice cream.

I like the way the frozen cones get chewy, but yea, I definitely prefer cake cones, especially with soft serve.

I always did prefer sugar cones. We had a small store near us when I was growing up. Every time we walked up I was sure to get a drumstick. :yum:

Surely you jest. If you don't like waffle cones it's because you've never had a good waffle cone. My favorite local place has 1800s era machines for making waffle cones and edible bowls fresh daily.

I was all set to go on a Wiki-fueled righteous tirade on your ass but it turns out that waffle cones date from at least 1825. :( :p

"cake cone"?
0_o
If they existed I'd have heard of one by now.
3 kinds - sugar, waffle, .... styrofoam? or whatever it's called

That styrofoam is called "cake" even though it is really wafer cookie stuff and it makes a better ice cream cone than waffle cones do. Everybody knows this.

Clearly you're wrong. Cake cones only exist because they're marginally better than walking around slurping ice cream out of your hand.
Marginally.

i would rather a cardboard cup. easier to get the ice cream out of, tastes the same.

but dipped waffle cone in chocolate, rolled in some nuts if i'm not going to have to be too mobile while devouring it.

If you want waffles then put ice cream on waffles. It'll be much better and won't make you look like someone chewing tree bark.

Isn't that more due to saturation from the ice cream sitting in them though? That's the only way they're acceptable.

I wondered how long it'd take this to go from zero to "I sniff my own farts, and only this local homegrown passed down from family secret recipe place is good, if you haven't had it then you have no right to have an opinion"

Congrats, you win the thread dutch oven.

You're an idiot. Nobody claimed that one is superior to all others, just that anyone dismissing waffles might be doing so from ignorance (something you understand well). If a person has tasted nothing but Bud Light and claims "all beer sucks" it's not beer snobbery to smack them over the head for a truly ridiculous opinion. Kind of like what I'm doing to you right now.

Sorry to disappoint you. Stay vigilant, there's plenty to go off on a good tirade about around here.

You know, I've gotten more negative feedback from various cake posts than from any other topic. Even my ravings on P&N don't bring out this level of disapproval. :confused_old:

Waffle or Sugar beat Cake....none are good if they're stale. Sugar cones are most resistant to ambient moisture.

I've never heard them called "cake" cones, but they're not bad. I think I prefer sugar cones over anything.
