Reusable Ice Cream Cones
That's different.
From the website:
- Reusable Ice Cream Cones
An ice cream cone that will never get soggy!
Comfortable to hold, these reusable cones won’t break when filled with rock-hard ice cream and won’t leak on the hottest afternoon.
These colorful plastic cones will be the hit of the party — or a fun way for the family to enjoy a favorite summer treat.
Enjoy the best part of an ice cream cone — the ice cream!
Set of 4 — you get one of each color pictured.
Dishwasher-safe melamine.
Bonus: can be used as party hats or drinking cups, and I'm sure you can find many other uses if you so choose.

Ube is also known as taro. I've had a Filipino Nestle-brand taro ice cream from an Asian supermartket Taro ice cream is delish!

I believe the whole point of this contraption is for those who prefer the long lick technique that the exposed surface area provides. Not the same with a spoon. Nope, just not the same!

Yes, Flautist. Also think about the challenges of holding onto a smooth conical object when it's wet with melted ice cream and kid slobber. ZOOP!! Out of the hand and onto the ground/floor/carpet/upholstery. Much crying and swearing to follow.

Yuck! I love eating the cone. What's next? Plastic ice cream?!

Nah -- some nut will think it's okay to try to stick one of these over a cat's face. So: kid's unicorn costume for Halloween.

What Al and clifyt said, exactly.
This is an outrage! The blend of creamy and crisp is one of the great breakthroughs of the 20th (19th?) century, up there with the heart-lung machine and Liquid Prell. (That's not original with me; see Mel Brooks' 2013 Year Old Man.) Why, this is nothing but ice cream in a pointy cup that you can't set down while the runoff doesn't soak into the spongy cone. No, it just runs down the hydrophobic plastic all over your hand. Instant toddler. I'd feel gypped, used, frustrated -- unconsummated, if you will -- if I had ice cream in such a vessel thrust upon me.
Other uses: muzzles for cats; napkin holders; devil horns; w/ points cut off, tiny megaphones

WTH?!?!?
The cone is most definitely the best part of ice cream. Unless you are talking real irish cream ice cream...not the fake flavored stuff (got to get an ice cream maker again to make my own...)

That has all the appeal of reusable hamburger buns. If you're not going to eat the cone (which is part of the flavor experience) you might as well eat it from a cup.
