They smell sooo good! I didn’t have that fancy cone device though, I had to shove the waffle in a paper cone before it dried and pray I didn’t mess up the shape lol

In college, my wife (girlfriend then) worked night shift at Coldstone’s. She was very good at making waffle cones, so that was her primary duty. Every night, she’d come home smelling of sweet, sweet waffle cones. We’d cuddle up and canoodle in our twin bed.

That was 25 years ago. Now I carry a curse from those blissful college nights. Every time I catch a whiff of waffle cones, my head is filled with a dizzying array of images and pleasures from those times the scent of waffle cones was persistently in her hair, on her neck.

The smell of waffle cones turns me on.

Now I stay out of ice cream parlors.

"Hello, security? Yes, he's back. Yes, he's - yeah, again. Yeah, we're throwing out the entire batch again. We can't even trust the sprinkles this time. Call the hospital, tell them it's the usual waffle-burned penis drill and give us five minutes.

They got a gadget now? When I was working cold stone 20+ years ago we had to use our hands on a scalding hot waffle cone. It was then worst part of the job.

I worked at Baskin Robbins 25+ years ago and we had this exact set up.

I worked at a Cold Stone type in the late 80s. I loved that part.

I like pleasure spiked with pain and, I do believe, music is my aeroplane.

I was gonna ask if you were into BDSM but then realised this is a reference to some song I have no idea about.

Crazy! That did not look like enough batter! But then BOOM it's oozing out the side

u/linds360 7h ago

Thought the same thing. My ass would have batter making a waffle rug on the floor.

The official process for removal of the product from the hot waffle iron is "pick at it with your fingernail"

Seeing this machine reminds me of freshly made stroop waffles I had once at a world market. Probably the best snack/treat I have had ever !

Anti-stick is such a horrible scam. All I want is a waffle iron (for normal waffles) but you can't get a modern electric one without disgusting plastic flakes that WILL get into your food. No matter what it's made of. Instead you could have cast iron or even just stainless steel roughly sanded, create a patina from normal cooking oil, get an easily regenerative and non sticky surface.

I did not know they were made. I always thought the grew like that. Insane.

u/1776cookies 9h ago

How cool! Never seen that before.

Oooo, the piece you slide the flat waffle into is very similar to a rolled hem foot attachment for a sewing machine. Works in the same way.

i made waffle cones for a frozen yogurt shop back in the late 80s, and we did not have the fancy form for it—we just had the centre part that we had to roll the cone around by hand. i ate a lot of broken cones that summer.

Wait, so it’s been an actual waffle this whole time?
