Does your ice cream give you away?
By JEAN FIELDING The way you lick your ice-cream can reveal your character. Stab delicately at an ice-cream cornet and you’re lazy and reluctant to take on more work. You may lack initiative and be unable to make decisions easily. If you turn the cone round in your hand and lick the ice-cream into a regular shape, you are fussy and expect other people to be too perfect. Pecking the ice-cream cone so that the icecream runs down means that you are selfish. Eating it so slowly that it melts indicates that you
tend to dither and cannot relax. But if you bite the bottom of the cornet and suck the ice-cream through the hole you are adventurous and confident. You have a shy, sweet
nature if you lick the icecream gently and savour it before you swallow it. If you gulp it down you are greedy and uncouth, so be warned. Dipping your finger in the ice-cream before you sample it shows that you are suspicious and often miserable. Throwing away half the cone means that you’re wasteful but if you dispose of the ice-cream then crush the cone appreciatively you are a methodical person. And for those with sex rather than personality in mind, a survey revealed that males bite and females suck icecreams and lolly ices. — Copyright Duo
