Mint in a cone behaves differently to mint in a tub, because the wafer adds a dry, faintly toasted note that a spoon never introduces. That matters more than it sounds. Mint is a clean, cold flavour with very little body of its own, so it can read thin on its own. A wafer gives it something to sit against, and the chocolate pieces supply the fat that mint lacks entirely. Menthol also creates a genuine cooling sensation independent of temperature, which is why mint works in frozen desserts more reliably than most herbs and why it has stayed a standard flavour rather than a passing one.
