The New Summer Trend: Cone-ing - Neatorama

Video Link

This made me giggle. Video comedian Alki Stevens is trying to make cone-ing the hot (cool?) new trend for the summer. Here's what you do: go to a fast-food drive-through. Order a cone. When you drive up to the window to receive your tasty treat, grab it by the ice cream, not the cone. I just love the expressions of the bewildered fast food workers and love imagining them turning around and saying, "You would not believe what this guy just did..."

That made me laugh way more than it had any right to. Damn you, internet.

This just REEKS of zany-for-the-sake-of-zany.

Must be nice having a disposable income......

What a waste of a tasty treat. It was funny the one time, but after that, it's just stupid. You know what would be cooler? Buying ice cream for a homeless person, or someone in a shelter. Or take one over to your Mom!

Yeah, didn't make it on my funny meter.

Although scored quite well on my stupid meter.

Wasting food is really gross.

Not funny after 3rd time...

wasting food can be gross, but i think in the US where food is generally overabundant, wasting food (or even donating leftovers to the needy) might actually be good way to promote improved public health

The pedantic in me wants only to point out that there's no reason for the spelling "cone-ing" when "coning" would do just as well.

@all those who talk about wasting food, it's a mcdonald's freakin' ice cream, it has no nutritional value, it's not food!
My favorite was when he already had one.

That's true, I don't even think there's any dairy in that stuff, it's frozen gelatinous dairy substitute

I enjoyed it. Nobody got hurt, and some of the switches (double cone, giving change, jamming the confection in his mouth when the worker was left holding the cone) were nice twists.

I thought it was funny. Didn't have me totally cracking up, but it was goofy and fun.
I also liked the one where he already had an icecream :D

Hmmm, not even a little giggle for me. Just stupid.

If coning is the new planking, what was planking, and was it that lame?

Clearly, a lebo from Australia.
