Since the invention of the wheel, mankind has since experienced only a few minor breakthroughs. Sure, there was the whole moon landing thing, and we suppose the internet is kind of cool, but the the guy who created the ice cream cone?
Somebody give this man a Nobel Prize already.
The cone-shaped pastry has solved the age-old dilemma of needing a spoon to enjoy the frosty treat, offering a one-handed, sans-bowl solution. Often found in waffle form, the ice cream cone has recently inspired a plethora of mind-blowing variations. Bold food bloggers and restaurateurs worldwide have ventured where few have gone before, offering the masses gloriously imaginative interpretations of the cone. From cookie dough cones to spaghetti fillings -- nothing is off limits for this brave new brand of food lovers.
Here's a look at eight of the most phenomenal cones we've seen yet. Feel free to add your own finds in the comments. 'Til then, onward Christian Slater!
