‘Cone-ing’ Internet craze a waste of good ice cream
The Australians love to document their antics.
Eating the wrong end of food is not funny.
First, there was ‘planking,’ wherein the truly bored risk life and limb for an unusual Facebook photo.
Now, denizens of The Land Down Under are surprising fast-food workers by “cone-ing.”
According to an article by ABC News and many YouTube videos, the clearly misnamed art of cone-ing involves grabbing the non-cone end of a cold treat to get a reaction from minimum wage employees.
Some people find this behavior funny, says ABC: Maddy Curotte, a follower of the Cone-ing Facebook page, wrote, “Oh my god, I have not laughed that hard at a YouTube video in a while. Brilliant!”
Maybe Maddy needs to get out more.
Fast-food workers have enough problems, like getting my order right. Why use them as unpaid props?

Another example of societies with too much money available. Between this and breaking necks to watch to get a seat in a murder trial… it’s obvious some folks have too much time and money on their hands.

Well the Australians can at last truthfully claim that they’ve invented something.

I am definately ready for another bout of gut busting hilarity! Afterall, the folks down under must do plenty more things “upside down”. (oh dear, I’m giving them more ideas)

Indigenous Austrailans were thousands of years late inventing the throwing stick.
As for cone-ing, this is absolutely stupid and messy.
