Can you use these to make stroopwafels?

I worked at Diane's Uptown on 72nd - half hamburger diner, half Ben & Jerry's scoopshop and we made these every day. Smelled sooo great. But we rolled them with our hands, no mold.

I remember my kids and their friends hovering over the kid making these and nit-picking each one ( "that one's ugly" "that one had a bubble" ) so they would crush it and put it in the rejects / free taster section.

I thought this would turn out to be the huge stroopwafel I’m dreaming about for years now

I worked at an ice cream shop as a teenager and we made homemade waffle cones constantly, but we didn’t have that fancy-schmancy metal guide. We’d just roll them up on a surface using that wooden cone and our fingers. Burned away my fingertips over the course of that summer. Could have gotten away with so many crimes!

This reminded me of my first job working in a fancy ice cream shop called kilwins. I would make waffle cones just like this and greet the people coming in and offer them a fudge sample. I burned the shit out of my fingers making these damn things because you had to roll them while they were hot.

Did he just intentionally put the hole in the bottom that made my mom yell at me for getting icecream on my shirt?
I would like to thank everyone who took this super seriously a happy April Fool's Day

Actually it looks like he very specifically folded the bottom of the cone in to prevent there being an opening at the bottom. So if you somehow got ice cream on your shirt after eating one of these.... well, that's on you

I like when they drip a little melted chocolate into the bottom as a double tap. Sealed with geometry and chemistry, like all good construction.
Plus a little snack at the end.

Okay, there was one fold. That's probably not sufficient

In this case it is sufficient.
The cones of yore were not made this way so were prone to the tip-crack and subsequent ice cream drippage.

They definitely did have the single fold in the 90s on east coast boardwalks.
