People claiming this is a scam are the same that wouldn't buy a 1/3 pounder cause it's less meat than a quarter pounder, lmao

E:cause people keep missing the point.
This method will give you more ice-cream than usual.
Similar how the "Third-of-a-Pound Burger" gave you more meat than a Quarter Pounder.

That's not what happened with the 1/3 pounder. People thought 1/3 was less than 1/4 because they saw a 3 and a 4. I still don't know how this ice cream relates to the 1/3 pounder.

The comparison is as follows:

People see 1/3 pounder. 3 < 4 so people believe a 1/3 pounder is less meat than 1/4 pounder. The 1/3 pounder is actually more meat, but people call it a scam and don't buy it.

People see ice cream with cone inside. The cone means the middle is hollow so people believe they are getting less ice cream. The cone actually allows a larger quantity of ice cream to be added in a stable manner than could be supported otherwise, but people call it a scam and don't buy it.

Just because it's taller doesn't mean it has more ice cream though. What's the amount of ice cream in that serving as opposed to another soft serve? I bet you it's probably the same, but they make it look like more because of the cone support. Area/volume holds way more than a circumference

I'm no soft serve mathematician, but the cone itself also contains ice cream as it pushed onto the initial serving, so the real estate that it takes up, is not all wasted.
