How high can you go, we may never know!

When we were kids a local shop did a nine scoop cone in the summertime. It was impossible to finish before it melted.

I don’t do cones. Can I have a bowl?

Start at the bottom and work his way up?

Just don’t run and then stop really fast!

Bleeb is camouflaged. He’s still green.

Prepubescent fantasy.

I wonder how much those cost.

It actually isn’t the ‘cone’ that never ends – or the sky. Just the ice cream.

… you’re gonna need a bigger cone!

Steady now…

The Sheldon in me points out that there is no way for him to prepare such a cone inside the truck.

Ummmm….

must have one of those bottomless freezers in that truck of his. :D

I’ll have what he’s having!

Lick fast kid and don’t stop!

Okay, now I have to stop at Baskin Robbins on the way home, or maybe Andy’s.

Earworm warning! And his truck repeatedly plays ♪ This is the cone that never ends ♪

That’s some trick getting that out of the truck….LOL

Cholesterol count? I’ll take frozen yogurt.

what’s up with old people and cones anyway?

Even if you could eat that without getting a brain freeze that would last for months, it would all melt before even partially through them all. Cartoon physics.

Isaly’s used to make skyscraper cones.

Joe Biden’s dream.

This reminds me of my father. He once went to an ice cream social where there were 20 different flavors and sampled every single one. He said he had to, in order to decide which one he wanted to order.

Saw a clip about a Mom that taught her toddler that it was the music truck and he would get so excited and wave. Very funny.

Kid’s a shill, holding plastic replica made in China from amazon business sales…

Cute…

Try balancing that on your chin

Reminds me of the peddler who had Caps For Sale

Wait – is that a scoop of mint chocolate chip on the 6th from the bottom? I specifically said: no Mint chocolate chip! Please remake it.

One can only wonder how it was made and how it can be eaten.

That’s gonna be a challenge.

Oookay, How do you eat it?

Do ya think, somewhere, on another planet, there’s an alien kid holding a cone at the other end of that thing?

Bubble burst here. Sky starts where ground stops. It is an infinitely small, approaching 0 but never reaching 0, so there isn’t going to be much sky high ice cream.

The ISS (International Space Station) will be skimming off the highest scoops. In space, you can never hear a slurp!

Now, that’s the ultimate ice cream cone. How many scoops do you think there, is?

What do they do, start at the bottom and nibble until it collapses on them?
