Does your tongue pack it down into the cone, or does it melt and leak down to the bottom, or both? Is the mechanism different in hard-scooped versus soft-serve?
Just curious. I suppose cross-sections of the cone at regular intervals throughout the eating process might shed some light on this important subject.
You seem to have answered your own question reasonably well
I would go with the tounge action on this one – atleast thats how I get it packed down
The person making the cone also typically packs it a good bit, especially for soft-serve. At least, that’s my experience from a semester of working in the campus ice-cream shop.
Yes.
Ice cream’s not the only thing you can pack deep in the hole with your tongue. Uh… what?
I’m goin for the squoosh method. When I make a cone, I use the convex side of the spoon and squoosh it into the cone.

if you don’t want the melted ice cream from running out of the hole in the bottom of the cone, ask the server to drop a small marshmellow in the bottom of the cone…the marshmellow, in theory, plugs the hole.
