Ode to the Cone

The McDonald’s Vanilla Cone is a thing of beauty.  I spent most of my life blind to its glory but in the last few years I have come to see the creamy light.  You’ve got to understand how amazing this thing is.

First, it’s cheap.  Around a buck.  Most places it’s crept up to $1.09 but it’s still good. 

Second, it’s tasty.  There are plenty of cheap things that taste like crap.  But the McDonald’s Vanilla Cone is different.  They are consistently delicious and refreshing.  What’s better than a soft serve cone on a hot day?  Or a warm day?  Or a cold day?

Third, it’s relatively low calorie, clocking in somewhere around 150.  That will of course be higher or lower depending on how generous the staff are but that’s not bad.

Fourth, you can get it really fast.  They’ve usually got the cone waiting for you by the time you roll up to the second window.

Fifth, it’s small enough to where you can finish it before you get home and you don’t have to explain to the kids why Daddy gets ice cream and they don’t.

Yes, the McDonald’s Vanilla Cone is a wonderful thing.  You should get one.
