WHAT DOES THIS look like to you?
A weird banana? Some kind of children’s toy? An unidentifiable, yet undeniably phallic object?
Wrong. It’s an ice cream cone.
The J-cone is the newest food craze to hit New York, sold from a food truck that rambles around the Soho area of the city.
And people are actually walking about with these things in their hands. Sucking ice cream from them. Really.

According to Mashable, the owners of the truck were inspired by a South Korean dessert called Jipyangi, which also features J-shaped cones.
The machine to make the puffed corn cones has been specially imported from Korea.
Though it looks downright filthy, there’s a good reason for the J-shaped cone – because it wraps around the ice cream fully, there’s a lot less mess.
We would try one, but in a private space.
Alone.
With absolutely no one watching.

If that’s phallic, Valerie you might might want to get your boyfriend checked out!!!
If that’s phallic you’d need a snorkel for safe sex.
Phallic, my arse!
Oh the difference a comma makes :-)
One end looks like a man mickey and the other looks like a dog mickey, not sure how it makes me feel!
This daily edge stuff gets worse every day.
Jaysus Korean langers must be a queer shape altogether, not that I’ve ever investigated.
Did Mr. Garrison invent the J-cone?
Could be new flexi-grips for the ‘it’!!
Nothing on the Journal yet about ICTU policy opposing water charges!
That’s because half the country is in a self imposed state of denial John! shhhhhh! Don’t wake them from their slumber- Dick shaped ice creams have taken their attention away- says it all!
Look’s like a lesbian thing.
Were they selling them down town?
Thought this was a chinese thing, they definitely taste like c@ck, the cone thing is nasty
have your say
