When you buy ice cream do you opt for a cup or a cone? Why?
I trust that OzBargainers can definitively answer the question: which is better value?
help me I had an existential crisis today while trying to decide
Ice Cream - Cup or Cone?
Comments
best answer
And reduces landfill :)
Honestly though, why not both and have a cup made out of cone?
Good luck telling the kid you are having ice cream in a cup and I’m having in a cone.
Cup or Cone?
Stick
spread the word out —- jv likes stick than containers
only because jv can use it for stirring
.Shit stirring?
Also depends where purchasing from …
Some vendors - when getting a cone serve - the bottom last 5cm of cone is empty … No icecream.
== Duped
Cone always
I used to eat those 30 pack cones as a kid raw, was a great time. Then I’d eat the tub of ice cream afterwards
Maybe I’ve got the tism.
We've all got the tism. Some are brushed by it, others have been spear tackled.
I get cone and ask for a spare cup. I've never been refused.
Makes it easy for family to try another's ice cream.
- cup for ease, takes longer to eat (thus savour), but not-enviro-friendly (have to throw away cup & spoon after);
- cone for taste (enviro-friendly as you leave nothing behind), but too quick to eat (lick lick lick…erm it's gone already?!?!?) and thus don't get to REALLY enjoy/savour it.
Waffle cone every day of the week.
Waffle bowl better. More waffle.
That will be an extra $2
Worth it.
where is the 1L tub poll option?
Amateur, the 1.5l is better value.
2L bulla vanilla, eat it in 1 go in the food court after getting out of Woolies lol
I love melting peppermint with choc chips ice cream. One of life's real pleasures.
both, cup of ice cream, cone on top
Yes! It's called a Unicorn!
Waffle cone. You eat the container and added taste.
Depends on a lot for me:
- Fresh waffle cone (hard to get) - definitely
- Crappy cheap cone - hard noOther types of waffle cones it is usually:
- Cone in winter
- Cup in summerEDIT: I never thought input in so much thought into this
thought
Does preference change between icecream and sorbet? I was always sorbet in a cup type of operator. Seemed odd to have sorbet in a cone.
Nah but that’s only because I’m not a complex human, I just keep it to ice cream
I’m a simple man I like my cars fast, beers cold, and you know how this one ends ;-)
Cheap cone that looks and tastes like plastic = no
Cup = yes
Yummy crunchy brittle brown sugar waffle cone = YES
Are two females involved?
unfortunately, I'd heard about it before I saw it which takes away from the surprise
.Sigh here I go watching it again

Just had a thought, what about those cones which are cups?
Cup.
Cone is gross/pointless.
It's literally yummy and practical lol.
Cup for those who have dirty hands
Cone for those who have clean handsIf the cone is 'waffle' then cone if the cone is the generic cone that taste like plastic cup
Just get a few samples for free.
Hard to share a cone and much cheaper to get 3 scoop cup than 3 single serves cones. l will buy singles cones if alone or nowhere to sit with family.
s. l will buy singles cones if alone or nowhere to sit with family.
How do you hold all three cones whilst you're alone?
Definitely a waffle cone! Luckily most places don't charge extra for it (yet).
Cone - Better for the environment
Almost always cone, Messina, Gelatissimo, whatever.
The only time I get cup is when I go to Rivareno Gelato Barangaroo and get the Cremino Dark, It's better savoured without a cone. If you're in Syd/work in the city/near Barangaroo, probs the best gelato I've tried in Aus. Messina's dark by comparison is both weak, and overly sweetened (which dark shouldnt be)
Cup because I cant adult
what is with these reddit type posts. and how come they are so popular? well I guess if it works it works. 🤔
cup made out of a cone
Cup for the kids (less chance of them dropping) and cone for me (like thr crunch texture).
I think cone is better value because you can eat the container.
