Strawberry and Vanilla Soft Swirl Cone
This cone looks like an ice cream cone straight out of a movie, thanks to the beautifully served swirls and the color combination. Reddit user Prize-Ad-2997 commented: “This is from Meadowlark Dairy, Pleasanton, California, my kid and I have to stop there whenever I’m home. They also serve wonderful milkshakes there!”
Viennetta On a Stick
A Viennetta is a famous ice cream cake featuring layers of vanilla and chocolate crunch, created in 1982 by the British brand Wall’s.

Monster Ice Cream
Reddit user FunkyBev revealed a 32-scoop Munchin Monster Sundae from ‘Munchin Hedgehog’ in Brookfield, Connecticut. The ice cream was part of a shop challenge where two-person teams had 32 minutes to devour a 32-scoop sundae featuring every flavor on the menu, about 10 pounds of ice cream.
McDonald’s Ice Cream
The employee who served this ice cream to Reddit user Guymcdudeman’s daughter at that McDonald’s really maximized the amount of ice cream they could serve. Reddit user jvaz521 replied: “I don’t know what is rarer, the fact that the ice cream machine was working or that you got so much of it.”

Strawberry Shortcake
This ice cream on a stick is sold in a six-pack and is strawberry shortcake-flavored, featuring a “cake coating” as indicated on the box where they were sold, though the Reddit user Mother_Moose was completely disappointed upon opening it due to the thin cake coating. He commented: “Those were my favorites when I was growing up and I haven’t had them in forever so I was excited, but they decided to ruin my day.”
Cookie Monster Ice Cream
Reddit user inkheart88 made some Cookie Monster ice cream. She revealed that she thought there was too much coloring in the mix because of the blue food coloring. She also mentioned: “I added 1/3 cup each of smashed Oreos and chocolate chip cookies, plus some extra for the top, and I followed one of those no-churn vanilla recipes.”
Talenti Trick Ice Cream
Reddit user ThePoetMansDream couldn’t open the Talenti ice cream container by hand, so he tried using the back of a knife to loosen it and running hot water over the lid, but neither method worked. His only remaining option was the one shown below. He cut open the entire container to get the ice cream out and added: “This was a Salted Caramel Truffle flavor that tasted very good.”

Ice Cream Cone
Reddit user mysteryofthefireye shared a post about an ice cream cone where he received three scoops instead of the two he paid for, costing $10.18, which he felt was a bit steep for an ice cream cone. The user mentioned he hadn’t been to an ice cream shop in years and concluded: “Even with the more expensive waffle cones, I thought this ice cream would be like $4.50 tops.”
