It was a really cold day when I explored Insa-Dong in Seoul, yet I decided to buy me some ice cream. Soft-ice cream, to be precise, which I don’t even like. So why then, you may wonder.
Because of the cone, people, it’s all about the cone!!!
Technically I think it is not even a cone. Or should I say it is way more then a cone? A double cone? A U-cone? A boomerang-cone?
See for yourself:

| Walking through Insa-dong, you will easily spot the ice cream shop because of all the weirdly shaped cones, hanging inside and outside. |
|
| It is a teeny-tiny shop, decorated in a very unexpected way. People are queueing up to get their ice cream here. |
|
| Before you reach the guy at the handle, you will have paid already at another guy and picked a cone in a shape that suits your fancy. The guy at the end then first fills up one end….. |
|
| …. after which he fills up the other end. He stuffs a lot of ice cream in there, quite far into the cone/tube. |
|
| And outside you are, with your -in my case- J-shaped cone with a whole lotta ice-cream in it. |
After taking a picture, I tasted it (nothing special, just regular soft ice cream) and tossed the whole thing. I was already freezing my butt of, so no way that I was gonna eat a liter of soft ice that I don’t even like!
But it was fun to see how it worked and what it looked like up close and personal.
Verdict: ideal for couples that love soft ice cream, preferably on a warm day. Isn’t it romantic, to eat together from one ice cream?! Also great for couple-selfies!
Oh that’s ice cream cone is HOOJ 😀 ! I eat ice cream on winter too, but cannot eat the cone coz I’m allergic to wheat :P. I love those toys that are there for decoration
Dunno what these cones were made of. Corn maybe?
Yeah, I bet you like those toys!! Totally your cup of tea;-).
LOL that is one weirdly shaped ice cream. Looks huge!
