But with this joy comes risk: how can we keep the cone from melting? Sticky wrists and ice cream lost to the drips on the pavement are an omnipresent danger: it’s no exaggeration to say that this is a threat-level midnight situation.

What do we want? Big bottles. When do we want them? Now. Could it be that the era of the Ziploc bag with all your liquids is coming to an end? Maybe! Apparently, advances in technology are helping airports screen baggage better, and at certain international airports, we can now bring full-sized bottles, according to Conde Nast Traveler.
