Akoan for Action Man: What kind of expensive military hardware took its form, according to the bearer's whim, from a cow's head, a rice bowl, a pair of rabbit ears, a water plantain, a whirlpool, a pumpkin, a canyon, or the cone-shaped head of the God of Longevity?

There are so many handles! Should I push it down or pull it up? Where exactly do I hold my cone/cup, and how do I twirl it in order to create a swirl? Never mind that...
...healthy, containing absolutely no fat or sugar. Eating ice cream in January or February is the only surefire way to vaccinate against frostbite—and who wants to get frostbite? And as many can attest, watching objects of desire dine on the mouth-melting treat—cone or cup—can offer indispensable insight into…well…let’s just say, fro-yo’s not the same. So hurry out, show the blizzard who’s the boss (you!), and celebrate the impending end of exams with some tasty...
