It was originally an unintended consequence of coating the inside with chocolate to keep the cone from getting soggy. A happy little accident if you will.

Eat least, I think that's why it's there, but that makes sense
Also, it's nice, a nice last piece of chocolate, what are people complaining about?
You're supposed to eat the tip first and suck the ice cream out of the cone through the hole in the bottom.

OP you're wrong, sorry.
Don't be, don't ever shy away from being a beacon of truth, OP's wrong, period.
I hate chocolate. I don't want no fuckin chocolate randomly surprising me. It is evil and should be banished.
Edit: Okay because apparently I need to literally spell this out for people for who cannot make the simple leap on their own...
I do not buy chocolate ice cream. I buy vanilla ice cream. It comes in a cone. It is vanilla. There is vanilla. That's it. Maybe peanuts. Then, suddenly, chocolate.
Does that make more sense now? Jesus H. Christ.
Edit 2: Downvote me all you want. I'm not trolling, y'all are either utterly fucking incapable of understanding the concept of VANILLA ICE-CREAM, y'all are trolling or you're living on such a distant plane of reality that you're inventing shit that I've done then your opinion is worthless to begin with.
Have fun with the single brain cell amongst all of you and let me know whose turn it is tomorrow.

Even the vanilla versions of those things have a chocolate shell coating on the top, not just inside the cone. You would've known what it was about way before you got to that last part.
(If that isn't true for the ones you buy, I want to know what weird, obscure brand you're talking about.)
To be fair, though, coating the cone with some other flavor (butterscotch, maybe) could be a neat idea.
Not where I am it doesn't. No idea where OP is
(Still has chocolate on top though)
I'm not following you with the "I hate chocolate". Are you sure you're speaking English?

Did you commit to this before you knew what a Cornetto was?

The chocolate is required, it's 'fired' Into the wafer to coat the entire inside of the cone with a layer of chocolate. This protects the Wafter from absorbing water from the ice team and going soggy. Source: Worked 4+ years in a ice cream factory and was curious myself. Plenty of features of food are often a necessity that is marketed as a feature
Huh. I never thought of that as a reason for the chocolate. And it works both ways, the wafer protects the chocolate from melting.
Smart!
I really want a Cornetto now...

I thought it was a great addition! I remember when the ice cream dripped savagely through the hole, making a mess of your hand...
It also serves as a plug to keep it from dripping melted ice cream.
These people never experienced having the bottom of the cone wet and breaking off before you're even finished. I may not be a fan of chocolate itself, but I still think it's an elegant solution to the issue.

That chocolate at the bottom is so well loved that a company sells cone ends filled with chocolate.
You know soemtimes I catch myself typing furiously and after the 3rd sentence I realize that I really don't give a flying fuck about the whole subject.
Just eat a different ice cream instead of "petitioning" Cornetto.
Also, if Cornetto did remove the chocolate, that person would probably have to go into hiding.

You know that episode of Seinfeld where Kramer sells muffin tops without the muffins and makes bank?
Sell me cone bottoms. I'll buy them all.

Pretty sure this was tried over a decade ago already. Back then I used to live in Ireland, and Cornetto made the official statement that the block of chocolate at the bottom was the most practical and cost effective solution they found to prevent melting icecream leaking out through the bottom.

That's almost the best part. Some actually have the waffle part entirely coated in chocolate to prevent it getting soggy. Plus thin layer of chocolate plays nice with the vanilla or strawberry inside.
Look i dont usually support reform when they talk about deporting people for not having British values, but just this once......
That's the best part, you monsters.
So I'm seeing here the only real reason people don't like it is because they can't suck the ice cream out. I don't get it. Why not just fucking eat it and not get it all over yourself?
Suck my entire dick.
Is there a little chocolate treat at the end? …or no

This is one of those litmus tests that can be used to instantly tell if a person is a human or a lizard-person.
Your words are poison.
That's just a bad opinion.
This is the same kind of deviant that doesn’t eat the middle of a cinnamon roll.

I like them.
And it's either that or wobbly waffles as soon as the ice melts a bit.
Ops take is shite
You could just buy ice cream and cones separately and put them together whenever you want to eat one
Fuck now I want a cornet. Also OP your take is so unimaginably objectively wrong that you should please cease be.
