The Genius Soft Serve Trick We Wish We’d Known About Sooner

We live in a world where you can get just about any ice cream flavor you want, but a basic ice cream cone with sprinkles brings joy to people of all ages because it's one of life's simple pleasures. The cool, creamy sweetness of the ice cream pairs with the colorful candy crunch of the sprinkles, reminding us that things don't have to be complicated to be great.

For adults, an ice cream with sprinkles is not just about reliving their youth, but also about savoring a treat that symbolizes fun and joy. But whether you're a kid or a kid at heart, there's just one problem—when you eat the top layer of sprinkles you're left with just ice cream. That's not the worst thing that can happen to someone, but if this is a problem you want an answer to, content creator @jen.schwab has you covered.

According to Jen, there's a really simple way to solve this problem and we wish we'd known about it sooner. She posted the hack on TikTok and people were stunned that this isn't more widely known. She said that all you have to do is ask for extra sprinkles on the side. You'll get them in a cup and when you eat the sprinkles off your ice cream cone, you just dip the ice cream into the sprinkles to reload it.

In the caption to her TikTok video, Jen said this will be "on repeat all summer," but it's almost fall and we intend to make this a lifelong hack. It's so simple and brilliant!

"Why did I think this was illegal," someone commented on Jen's TikTok post. It really feels like it should be! It's like getting a never-ending sprinkle cone.

"The only way," someone else said on her video. It will be our go-to from now on!

Another person said if they get ice cream in a cup, rather than a cone, they ask for sprinkles on the bottom and top so that they get sprinkles at both ends. That is also a brilliant hack!

"I never understood something so much," someone else chimed in. It's really the simple things in life that make us happy.
