Just curious.............................

Is the rate that ice cream melts on a cone, proportional to the speed at which you lick it?

 

[The Chairman]

It's proportional to how exspensive your clothes are to clean... or how important it is to keep it off your Gold Lamae Wetsuit. This is why Jelly toast falls plain side down on tile, and jelly side down on white shag carpeting. THis is know as Murphy's law, which was REALLY Murray's law, but there was a typo at the printers.

It seems like the faster you lick it to keep it from dripping, the faster it melts and gets runny. Runs down my chin and all over. Maybe if I licked it slow it wouldn't melt as fast.

 

[AquaTec]

try nibbling it a little and watch it drip

Since toast always falls jelly side down on white shag carpeting, and cats always land on their feet, if you were to strap a piece of toast, jelly side up to a cat's back, and drop it, would it stop and hover inches from the floor in defiance of gravity while the two opposing forces fought to see which would actually land?

As a side note... if you blow in cat's face and then drop it, it dont always land on it's feet...

Theres a fast food place in my area, its a popular chain in my area. Everytime i oder food from them they always hand you the damn ice cream cone first. Then while your sitting there for the rest of your food the ice cream is melting fast. Then just as im getting a handle on the dripping ice cream they decide to hand you the rest of your food. meanwhile ... drip drip drip.

its sounds silly, but its anoying. The cone only takes 15 secs to make. i for one didnt buy the cone so i could eat it in the drive thru smelling car fumes. I want my ice cream cone last

Come on... everyone knows the string breaks...

put the ice cream in a crystal bowl and eat it with a silver spoon.

that way you wouldn't have to do tongue gyrations in public, or end up with a sticky chin.

Here is the problem: the temperature of ice cream is ca. 40 deg. F, whilst the temperature of one's tongue is 98.6 deg. F. So, according to the laws of heat transfer, the touch of one's tongue to a ball of ice cream perched atop a crispy waffle cone serves to melt that ball faster than if one had not licked it at all. (Delta HT = C x Delta T).

So, we come to the age old conumdrum: can one have one's cake and eat it, too? Or put in iguana terms, better to have licked and dripped than never to have licked at all.
