First of all, Sheldon, happy early birthday! �Second of all, I *did* have to
look up Mello-Roll, because I hadn't heard of it before. �It sounds like it

waffle cone, individually wrapped, with cylindrical vanilla ice cream, also
individually wrapped and stuffed into the cone? �Then you had to attempt to
unwrap both without losing the ice cream from the cone in the process? �Am I
close?

I also read that the wrapper looked kind of like the innards of a toilet
paper roll. �LOL.

Yes, a waffle cone with a rectangular opening to receive the
cylindrical ice cream... it wasn't very good ice cream, but what did
you want for a nickle. Movie houses used to sell them because it was
labor free, the customers had to tend to it themselves, and because of
how they fit they didn't drip.
