Why do you think people like to lick ice cream with the tip of their tongue?

According to a study out of New Zealand, eating ice cream is more satisfying with a cone than a spoon. Your tongue warms up the ice cream in contrast to a spoon which insulates it from the tongue. Also, it takes longer and more mindful attention to lick a cone. Think about brain freeze which naturally slows you down!
