Seratonin Jun 2021 9:05pm, 16 Jun 2021 34,374 posts	0 Seratonin Haven't had a Cornetto for a long time. Probably around the time that they started shrinking in size. I tend to spend money on a Magnum instead. My main bug bear with Cornetto's (and other brands) is the cone. I only enjoy them if the cone is crispy. It really bugs me when you get one which may be old stock which has a chewy cone. Nestle are particularly culpable.
