Whats with the paper around the bottom of ice cream cones these days?

I realize they are probably to keep the employees filthy rotten hands from touching the cones, but what do they use to stick them to the cones? I was eating a cone the other day and had a hard time getting all the paper off the bottom of the cone. I don't want to eat germs, but I also don't want to eat glue and paper.Whats with the paper around the bottom of ice cream cones these days?
The ice cream may have dribble onto the paper, making it stick. You are right about the hygiene factorWhats with the paper around the bottom of ice cream cones these days?
I am sure it is an edible adhesive. Like a mixture of Karo syrup and something. They do help keep the ice cream from dripping out of the bottom of a soggy cone.
Yeah, it's pretty much glue; although presumeably a less toxic variety. Some ice cream shops just have their employees grab the cones with a napkin or paper sleeve, but don't have them glued to the cone. That's always a nice touch.
The paper does keep the employees hands off the cones, it also prevents them from sticking together in the box when temperature and humidy varies causing them to shrink and contract.
