How to Eat a Brown Derby

The first time I ever remember eating a "dipped top" cone was in Marlin, Texas at the Dairy Queen . . . but my cousins called it a "Brown Derby." However, they didn't show me this great trick! Get lots of napkins ready. Slowly eat the hard chocolate shell, hand-picking each piece off the ice cream. When finished eating the "derby," knock the vanilla ice cream off the top (use one of the napkins and kind of scrape it off til it's even with the cone). Throw the uneeded ice cream out the car window--it's not littering if it's biodegradable. Take little bites, working your way all around the baby cone, which is filled with just the right amount of ice cream. When finished, don't throw those napkins on the ground--that would be littering.

Why on earth would you get rid of that delicious vanilla ice cream??? It may not be littering, but it's gotta be some kind of sin!

Now see, I’m all for doing something to dress up Vanilla Ice Cream, because it is what it is. Vanilla. However, I personally don’t think I could throw it out the window—it IS food and my policy is not to waste any. My method of attack here would start out just like yours, except that I would start to weave in chocolate pieces with the vanilla to dress it up some so I had a bit of both in every bite.

Jay insists on leaving the best bite til last. I've watched it approximately three times a day for the last 9 years. Heeee.
