Marshmallow Cone Company

Every time I see one of these never-​melting «ice cream» cones, I reminisce about my childhood. I think every child has a sweet tooth, but I was some what of a connoisseur. See not every store carried Marshmallow Cones – they were a rare, old-​timey breed, like Dots and Wax Bottles – so when I had the chance to get one, I always did.
So recently, I was feeling a bit nostalgic and bought a few of the candy cones. The experience is similar, I expect, to chewing on Styrofoam. Flavorless and strangely textured, I don’t know why I ever liked these things. They’re not soft and fluffy as would expect a marshmallow to be, and the cone is basically inedible.
I did read on the side of the package (after I threw away the uneaten portion of my cone) that the temperature and humidity level alters the products texture, so maybe it was just the atmosphere that made this treat atrocious.
