"The chain’s classic soft-serve cone — the Vanilla Cone — is visually pristine and engineered to hold its swirl for minutes, but that structural integrity comes from stabilizers that leave a waxy, caulk-like coating on the tongue. Its other frozen desserts are mixed: the McFlurry is a speckled, pasty but serviceable Oreo-like treat, the Caramel Sundae can devolve into a greasy, margarine-like pool when warmed, and the baked Apple Pie is a reliably nostalgic, gently spiced, fruit-forward option with a bready crust." - Daniela Galarza
