It appears as though cone-ing (Or is it “coning?” Why can’t we settle on a single spelling, people? I swear, this is the Gaddafi of memes!), that crazy meme started by a foreign comedian in which people videoed themselves ordering ice cream cones at drive-thrus and receiving them by palming the cones, is over, though it’s had a nice little run. Judging by the video above, managers at fast food joints around the country are over it, tired of being the butt of a cruel internet joke, and are refusing to take it any more. It was fun while it lasted, but yeah — it’s over. Though really a strong argument can be made that it was over the moment Justin Bieber got involved.
Cone-ing/coning: 2011-2011. Never forget.

First and foremost, coning is fucking retarded. That said, this manager is a huge cock. Did he threaten to shove it in her face? I feel like that’s something you get fired for. Especially people who make minimum wage. But the “pranksters” in this video piss me off the most for not shitting all over this guy for acting like a wannabe mall cop.
Coning is more retarded than planking, and planking is pretty damn retarded. As far as the manager goes, I don’t blame him for acting that way around stupid people, and no, I don’t work in a restaurant.
The original was great, and still is… but it should’ve never been copied. Planking works because it’s location based. Coning is a stolen joke.
