These Ice Cream Fails Perfectly Sum Up How It Feels When Summer Ends

There are few things in life that can compare to the unadulterated joy of stuffing your face with ice cream on a hot summer's day.

Whether you prefer a cone piled with a tower of sweet scoops or a popsicle that pays tribute to your favorite cartoon character, it's not hard to see that ice cream is the epitome of the perfect summer snack.

But that being said, this cool confection does have one minor drawback.

When it come to eating your ice cream a la cone, things don't always go according to plan.

The scorching summer sun can really wreck havoc on your scoops and suddenly turn your once Instagram-worthy ice cream into a melty mess that slides right off the cone.

If your frosty treats have ever suffered this sad fate, you know very well that nothing will fuck up your day quite like a horrific ice cream casualty.

But don't worry, you're not alone.

It turns out a lot of people have been posting funny pictures on Instagram and Snapchat that show their heartbreaking, not to mention pretty hilarious, #IceCreamFails.

So far we've seen everything from broken cones and pitiful scoops fallen smack dab on the sidewalk to cones filled with flaccid soft serve and a variety of melted, mutant popsicles that look nothing like the packaging.

Check out the pictures below to see some of these funny ice cream fails.

We can all relate to this little girl's ice-cream induced sadness.

This cone is proof ice cream and Instagram don't always mix.

Apparently, the same thing goes for Snapchat.

It was only a lick, how did it end up like this?

I'm pretty sure ice cream isn't supposed to be flaccid.

 The person that designed this ice cream was a real dick.

RIP Spongebob Popsiclepants.

You sit on a cone of lies.

Ice cream, why you no stay in cone?

Just the tip.

The soft serve struggle is so real right now.

Yep, totally nailed it.

Olaf looks a lot more terrifying in frozen dairy form.

But really, though, who the hell is responsible for this?

Ice cream paint job.

Scooby-Dooby-Doo what happened to you?

FML.

Let's take a moment to honor all of the fallen cones out there.
