Is there a difference between these cones?

A scan of google images suggests that sugar and wafer cones are pretty much the same thing. Though, I’ve never personally referred to that type of cone as “wafer”.

Cake cones are the tasteless things they give you at McDonald’s. They aren’t anything to write home about.
Waffle cones are the fancy things they sell at ice cream shops, always with an upcharge. So they are extra special.
Sugar cones are the most common ice cream vehicle (besides cups). They are what I think of when I think of “ice cream cone”.

Seems to me that sugar cones aren’t as fragile as waffle cones. And maybe sweeter.

What I get is that wafer and cake cones are the same. And I honestly associate those with the proper cone more than sugar or waffle, even though I agree those two are better. Still, with a cake cone, I eat it with the ice cream, while I always wind up waiting until I have to on the other cones.
