The 99: An Important Question

Degag

So today, for only about the 3rd time this year, i decided to purchase myself the king of ice creams - A '99 Cone.

As a licked up the creamy goodness i pondered as to whether other people observed the same long-standing tradition that i have of eating the flake last, or if they gave into temptation and ate it first.

An interesting idea also formed in my head. Chunks of flake mixed with the icecream as it churned. Now that'd be an ice cream.

But anyway AH, how do you eat yours?

Flake first. Gives the ice cream some time to melt just a little mmmmm....

Bipolar Joe

With my mouth.

Who eats the flake last? That's so awkward!

joshrogan

I eat it all at once without swallowing, like a duck.

You can actually make that ice cream yourself, either break a flake up and mix it into some softened vanilla ice cream, or you can lob a flake / twirl into a food processor with cold ice cream and whixz it up. Careful though, as it will heat up quickly in the food processor.

That would be a Flake McFlurry Sir Ronald beat you to the punch.

It makes the chocolate really cold and yummy!

half the flake first to make the iced cream* more manageable, then bits more of flake as i make my way down to the cone. then the delicious cone.

*incl. red sauce.

Little Johnny was sitting in class doing math problems when his teacher picked him to answer a question, "Johnny, if there were five birds sitting on a fence and you shot one with your gun, how many would be left?" "None," replied Johnny, "cause the rest would fly away." "Well, the answer is four," said the teacher, "but I like the way you're thinking."

Little Johnny says, "I have a question for you. If there were three women eating ice cream cones in a shop, one was licking her cone, the second was biting her cone and the third was sucking her cone, which one is married?"

"Well," said the teacher nervously, "I guess the one sucking the cone."

"No," said Little Johnny, "the one with the wedding ring on her finger, but I like the way you're thinking."

Chips Ahoy

Bought ice cream is uncomparable to the whipped stuff straight from the machine.

Yes, you are correct but do they still sell that variety?

I push the flake as far as it will go down the cone. Then I lick the ice-cream from the base in circular motions. then I nibble the bit of flake protruding, bite gently at the bottom of the cone and suck some ice-cream through that hole.

All I am left with is an ickle flake and wilted cone

Malari

Cones? Yuck.

Wattle

Peripheral ice cream first followed by mixture of cone, flake and remaining ice cream.

Stick the flake down into the cone wafer. Then at the end you've got this great combination of flake, wafer and ice-cream to enjoy!! Can't be beaten!!

The joke might make more sense if it was from the 1950's.

Fine, I'm off to get a white chocolate Magnum...:( You will just have to live with not knowing how I eat it! :mad:

Eat top part of ice cream first, use flake to scoop rest out of cone, eat flake, eat cone.

Or if I get one of those sad, sorry ice creams without a flake, break off the bottom of the cone, use it to scoop off bits of ice cream and eat them as miny-cones.

Overheal

The 99 or the 69? Both involve some degree of licking and sucking on shaft-y things.

That stuff from the machine isn't ice-cream, it's pukey chilled cream. There's big difference!!

Maggie Thatcher used to support herself in her earlier days by being part of a team which developed emulsifiers for ice cream.

See how easy it is to swallow now.

I got a really soft 99 lately. They must've just put the cream in the machine 5 minutes before I walked in. It melted all over me hand before I even got back to the car..

Wertz

bite the bottom off the cone then suck the icream till you hit air...then eat the rest of the wafer cone from the bottom up, and the flake last.
Not eaten one in ages...prefer proper ice cream these days, not that whipped stuff.

1. Lick it into a manageable dome shape.
2. Use flake as a spoon for the rest until the ice cream is flat in line with the edge of the cone.
3. Push the flake down as far as possible into the cone, making sure there's ice cream all the way down the cone*.
4. Nibble until it's all gone.

*Having worked serving 99s, you know when your server likes you because he'll/she'll have filled the cone as well as doing the above cone bit. Where I worked we weren't allowed to fill the inside of the cone, so we only did it on the sly when we liked the customer.

Valentina

Eat the ice cream then the flake and throw the cone away.
