    The worst one i heard is some people will spit in their ice cream to get it melty faster. Now you all know this too. Tycho Brahe of penny arcade once admitted to this atrocity.

      This is horrific, I wish I didn’t know… When I want the ice cream to melt faster I just put the spoon under a hot tap and let it run for a bit, or boil some water and pour it onto the spoon. I could not imagine spitting into my icecream that’s vile. lol

      I’d suggest a quick blast from the hot tap instead, but I honestly don’t know if that’s better.

            Hot scooper for sure. Cut through the freezer burn. I’ll give you that. There’s minimal transfer of the hot water, though. Not just like.

          Eeew no. I am not dumping hot tap water into my ice cream. Especially not with UK hot water. That is stored in a boiler. Seems like a bad idea. I am just talking about heating the spoon lol
