Nestlé Original Vanilla Drumstick Sundae Cone Review

I was craving some ice cream and found one of these in my freezer.
Nestlé Original Vanilla Drumstick Sundae Cone. You get a cone with vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate and topped with chopped peanuts for 290 calories.
The looks of it does not have as many nuts as the box boasts, but it is still enough for me.
Once you bite through the thin layer of chocolate, the vanilla ice cream is very soft and creamy. It does not tast as pure as french vanilla or vanilla bean ice cream, it tastes more like soft serve. Plus as you get down into the cone, it is more soupy than solid. The peanuts provide a great crunch but once they are gone, the crunch is gone. I have never had a drumstick with a real crunchy cone, and today's it was the worst it's ever bee (and it is not old or anything). The cone literally bent in my hand. But as always in the bottom you get a nice chunk of chocolate to finish it off.

Pros: Pretty good combo when all put together as I do not have to hand scoop it myself or run to the ice cream shoppe.
Cons: Soggy cone and soupy ice cream.

Taste: 7/10 All together a good combo.
Texture: 4/10 The nuts were good, but they could have used more, had a crunchy cone, and stiffer ice cream.
Amount for calories: 7/10 You get a whole cone but it isn't filling
Overall: 6/10

These are a genius idea because they are so easy and you get the whole package, but they could definitely use an upgrade in several aspects.
