Cone Wars

Cone Wars

Dear Editor, As I was participating in your Cone Wars challenge my wife and I purchased one while on vacation from the Irving Big Stop in Deer Lake, NL - my choice! The server Cheyanne was so pleasant as she presented me with this delicious twirly - a twist of the two. As we got into the car to now enjoy this special treat my wife dropped hers off the cone and onto the bottle holder on the car door. She was able to retrieve the majority all the while trying to avoid any going to waste. My mind immediately flashed back to 1964 when I was moving away from NL to go to the mainland to seek employment. I left my hometown of Laurenceton to go to the Notre Dame Junction to catch the train, the Newfie Bullet. Along the way, while going through Lewisporte, we decided to stop for a twirly. As I got in the car mine fell off the cone and onto my nice new sweater that my older brother had just given to me as a gift. Needless to say I was disgusted as I had now lost my treat, and then had to wear this stain all the way to Toronto. So your Cone War brought back a great memory for me, and a good laugh to boot!   Submitted By: Calvin Perry
