I always brought meat treats for my birthday. Venison bars. Caramel covered jerky. Chocolate covered chicken strips.

It might cause PP’s head to spontaneously microchloropodosfairesize.

You could sell tickets for that…

For the record, I too have never heard of a cupcake ice cream cone, although in the far off distant land of my yore, our cupcakes were known to have rich buttery fudge toppings with multicoloured sprinkles. Starkly in contrast to the chocolate cupcake varietals purchasable in Boston.

I can’t comment on GC’s tonguing techniques, but I like to make double helices on my soft serve ice cream cones. Totally against the grain and non-unidirectional. It might cause PP’s head to spontaneously microchloropodosfairesize.

Why must McDonald’s constantly degrade us?

Anyone who failed to cut their tongue had their Microchloropodosfaires privileges taken away and possibly a finger.

I thought their tongue was taken out and there was where the term “Cone of Silence” came from.

In Sparta, children were taught to file the edges of their cones to razor sharpness before they would be given any ice cream. Then they had to eat the ice cream quickly enough that the cone was still sharp enough to cut their tongues. Anyone who failed to cut their tongue had their Microchloropodosfaires privileges taken away and possibly a finger. That we don’t still do this explains why America is not respected and feared as it should be.

Cupcake cones were my favorite treat to bring on my birthday in elementary school. That’s why my mother hated my birthday so much.

Did they ever put a “Don’t Drive” warning on any of their breakfast sandwiches?

The b-day cake used to be pretty tasty, especially at 3am… frozen or not.

The soft serve is good. I dig their hot fudge sundaes. And of course I am a McMuffin zombie.

McD flavor of the month: dulce de lingua

Yes, I did.

Oh Brando,

the flavor was hemoglobin, but it was a DIY.

Please do not disparage the McD soft serve. I love love love it. It is one of three things that are truly wonderful at the Arches.

The July flavor of the month at McD’s is always Broken Glass Surprise. The surprise is that it’s made with actual broken glass.

Too right, Rotten. If PP is going to testify like that, we need to call in the US Marshmallows.

You are really edging into dangeral territory, taunting the Glue Birl Baking Consortium and Crime Syndicate like that.

Look at what happened to a DEER that taunted her! I shudder to think of what happened to her anti-arboreal neighbor. Haven’t heard about HIM in a while, have we?

I suggest you go into Protective Custardy.

I have a weakness for McD’s soft serve too! It has a…unique, in a good way…taste. I wonder what drugs they’re putting in it.

I also like DQ, of course, especially DQ blizzards with a Skor bar. Baskin Robbins has been trying to muscle in on that territory lately, with soft serve with mashed Heath bars.

Yikes! A tongue injury from improper ice cream lickage! That’s what you get, I suppose. Honor the ridge! If you don’t… well, all I can say is your tongue will pay.

I remember those cupcake/cones. They were kind of cute to look at, but eating them… it was disappointing. They were tough and yes, they were top-heavy. I think it was the ice cream cone’s way of getting back for cake stealing its thunder in the ice cream cake which may or may not really be a cake, but really just a block of ice cream.
