The solution to drippy ice cream cones and your business
If you love ice cream you know that feeling when all of a sudden your hand is getting sticky. The bottom of your cone has sprung a leak. Now personally I think you just eat ice cream way too slowly; but it happens.
So now you’re sucking the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone while trying to stop the top of the cone from dripping down the sides. Quite the dilemma.
So then someone comes along with a solution and puts a little cone wrapper/condom around the bottom. Except now the leak sticks to the bottom of the cone wrapper and I can’t get that last piece of the cone which really pisses me off. After all that last crunchy piece is the best part of the cone, right?
So while it’s a solution it is not my optimal solution.
Now the folks at Nestle came up with the optimal solution with the Drumsticks.
They put a hard chocolate shell inside the cone at the bottom. No more leaks. AND more chocolate!!! Life is good.
I guess they saw the solution “Inside the Cone” and not outside the box. Thank you for getting me out of a sticky situation and reminding me that often times the solutions to problems are the exact opposite of what most people are doing or thinking.
