‘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?

I’m with Mr. Anderson. No one gets hurt and it breaks the monotony of the day! I’d to see someone do this in person! Check out Alki Steven’s full video here: http://bit.ly/lhkvoI.
