How to Make a Single-Scoop Vanilla Cone

Creativity can begin flowing even in the most unexpected situations. A blogger named Emily, worked at a chain frozen custard shop and found herself in a tricky situation during an inspection:

As is often done, the inspector decided to ask me a question.

“How would you make a single-scoop vanilla cone?”

“Well… you would get a cone, and fill it with a filler scoop…” I looked to the managers for help. They nodded encouragingly.

“Then you would… use a round green scoop, and a flat green scoop on top?”

Unfortuately, her manager and the inspector did not appreciate her sense of humor. But that is not the point; her response was strange and creative in a weird way, which is why we appreciated it.

Emily talks briefly in the same post about being put on Zoloft. Her comments are quite familiar and worth a read. The journal does end in May 2004, though.
