Do you lick your ice cream from the top or sides first?

where ever melts first

Soft serve I always start at the cone and work up. There seems to always be a little bit hanging over the edge of the cone that ends up on my hands if I don't start there. Scooped ice cream I tend to work my way down. Now I really really want a strawberry ice cream cone :)

I always lick it from the sides first. It prevent the ice cream from melting and I just love to do it that way..

Ilickmy icecream from the top. Then when its is about to be gone I start licking my icecream from the bottom. My favorite kind of icecream is vanilla. And I always like my icecream on a cone.

I qam not too much of an ice cream eater. However, on occasions I do love chocolate or coffee ice cream in a cone. I lick the sides and then the top. I like it to get soft so that it runds down the inside of the cone. The when you consume the cone you get the last of the ice cream. Oh, coconut ice cream is also very good. The definite fasvourite where I live is rum and raisin. good post.

i do it from the side, licking from the top make the side melt and it would drip so i like from the side up...

I assume you're talking about an ice cream cone, since I don't lick a bowl of ice cream. I begin licking the sides, from the bottom to the top. That way I can divert and drips from running down the cone. This also keeps the ice cream on the cone and out of your lap. As the mound of ice cream gets smaller, I attack the top. I actually push it down gently with my tongue so that I have ice cream all the way down to the bottom of the cone. Ahhh...thanks for the luscious memories.

I start at the sides making sure none of the melted stuff gets away from me then when that's under control somewhat I take a bit off the top! Yummy!

I go right to the sides of the ice cream cone. I like to lick it all around so that when it starts to thaw it will not leak out onto my hands. But to be honest I eat it so fast that I really would not have to worry about it getting too unthawed to eat and make a mess. But I do see my kids go for the top and usually the sides start to leak. LOL

I like mine in a cup, not a cone person, but since you mentioned it... I used to lick the sides first so that it didn't melt down my hand. By licking the top you are breathing hot air on it and it melts faster that way. I remember the first time I asked for my ice cream in a cup, the poor guy behind the counter didn't know what to do.

While licking it I like to twist the icecream to the left side. I did not notice it unless I gave it a thought now after reading your question.

hi dear shar19,for all these years i never purchased neither icecream cone nor icecream cup, because,i donot have habit of eating icecream by spending money, any how i ate icecreams, because when ever i attend for functions,marriages and company meetings, they serve icecream as last item of food. i like icecream,but i donot buy it?

I actually never thought about this until I read this discussion... but now that I think about it I go for the sides first. I'm not really sure why I do that, but I guess maybe I'm worried about the ice cream slipping off the cone from the sides if i lick the top or something.

hah..looks like we treat our ice-cream the same. i usually tend to taste a bit from the top and then lick the sides.

i love ice cream cones but the Dariy Queen has closed here so it has been awhile .i always licked the top first.
