For those that are curious, it is a cone full of candies and treats

But she still got included when playinf with figures
She often got powerful characters because of the size difference to cars and lego and playmobil and whatever else

shool supplies and gifts

We don't have that tradition so I get chills at the month of hyperactivity and bad teeth I can imagine. Especially if that cone is 100% candy.

often the lower half is almost empty (especcially with premade ones because money) because they throw in packages rather than individual candies and they get stuck halfway in. I think its also often that they insert stuff very unsorted so it seems more filled than it is (for bragging)

We just gave our kids candies but the cone was like 8 inch long max.

These seem self-made, which I also did. Probably using like A3 or A2 cardboard.
It's a nice thing and you just buffer these things up however or leave them partially empty, they're closed anyway.

The size gives you more canvas for decoration.

Thinking back, trading that cone for 12+ years of a joy in life was a bad deal. It's a trap.

Hey you wanna those candies? Just gotta go into that building and sit still for 8 hours just to sit still at home for some more.

That's like a fifth of what we caught every year during carnival parades

When my kids went it was a small cone of loose candies. And addition of DoubleSalt Licorice in the old days.

Somebody mentioned there are now toys or other packaged items inside. And a lot of empty space due to she ahrink - flation. Large cone, less stuff.

Dear Zonengabi, your words are simply wrong and insult our western ears, please stop. Thanks for understanding.

Most of them don’t look too happy about this.

But those German cone joints were always funny to me. They would mix hash with tobacco, and sometimes even use a little filter.

Where I’m from, we just rolled joints like cigarettes, and with actual weed.

Spliffs (weed+tobacco in a joint) is pretty standard in Europe from what I understand.

However, "cones" like that shape aren't only used for spliffs, people roll normal joints with them too

receiving toys and candy in the mix makes "here's your notebook and pen, get to work" a bit less sad

"meine", because the plural follows the feminine :)

And you are thinking about cases, since it's a noun.

i think i may have been thinking about how in dative tense the -ers change to -ens or something. i haven't studied german in a couple decades and used it infrequently enough that, well [gestures broadly]. i can still find the bathroom though! just do the potty dance and someone will help you, no matter what language you speak.

I got my first Ninja Turtle (Leonardo) from mine. Can't remember what else was in there.

It's pretty awesome they get that. In America we make the kids bring everything themselves to school and pay for it all on their own. Not even a mention of toys or candy lol

Yeah no those things are not paid by the schools. The parents pay for this.

5

To be fair, I never hear about american kids until they get shot, so I dunno what kinda traditions they have.

This is of course a joke, it is actually the under ten Fickmühlen icing piping championships.
