Mr. Ice Cream Cone Man sells ice cream from his Acme truck in a 1970 Sesame Street sketch.
When Ernie stops him to make an unusual request, the ice cream cone man intends to provide for his customer. He emerges from his vehicle with an ice cream cone topped with ten scoops of ice cream, but Ernie immediately finds error in the product. The ice cream man remembered all the flavors Ernie asked for, but added them to the cone in the reverse order.
The ice cream man's solution to the problem is that the customer stand on his head while he enjoys his ice cream cone.
