Two lessons learned from a pit-stop at the McDonald’s on the road home. 1) While chocolate dipped ice cream cones sound good in theory, in practice, the warm chocolate will cause your soft-serve to start melting and leaking almost immediately. 2) While it may be possible to delude oneself into believing that french fries are a “soft” food that doesn’t require chewing, this is not the case. Chewing is bad, chewing means pain.
