# Flipped Fast Food Pranks The Alki Stevens Cone-ing Video Features Ice Cream Chaos By Olivia123 | Published 2011-06-10 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alki-stevens-cone-ing References: [theawesomer](http://theawesomer.com/cone-ing/106261/#TB_inline?height=400&width=640&inlineId=2011_06_060811_coneing) & [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/user/stevensalki) The Alki Stevens Cone-ing video definitely has viral potential. This hilarious short film features Alki Stevens, otherwise known by his [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hacksmith) username stevensalki, pulling pranks on food service workers. This Australian comedian is determined to improve Australia's rep by abolishing the practice of planking, and introducing a new extreme sport -- cone-ing. Viewers watch as Alki drives around town cone-ing various establishments. Cone-ing involves going through the drive thru of an ice cream shop and grabbing the [ice cream cone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drumstick-bites) upside-down when handed to you. Workers are in utter confusion as Alki clutches onto sticky ice cream, and munches on the cone. The Alki Stevens Cone-ing video portrays a serious prankster. I don't know if cone-ing will catch on, but this video is definitely sweet. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Viral Prank Videos:** Using humor and pranks to create viral content and increase social media engagement for brands. - **Drive-thru Innovations:** Developing new ways to create a unique and memorable drive-thru experience for customers. - **Comedic Branding:** Incorporating humor and comedic elements into branding and marketing strategies to create a memorable and shareable brand identity. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fast Food:** Leveraging social media and creative drive-thru experiences to increase fast food chain sales and engagement. - **Advertising:** Utilizing humor and viral content to create unique and engaging marketing campaigns for brands. - **Entertainment:** Incorporating pranks and comedy into entertainment content to create a unique and engaging viewing experience for audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gummy-Made Ice Cream Cones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mojoz-gummicone.md) - [Candy-Themed Frozen Cone Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-klondike-cones.md) - [Sweet Octopus-Inspired Sundaes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ollie-the-octopus.md) - [Cookie Cone Frozen Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/extrme-ice-cream.md) - [Pizza Crust Ice Cream Cones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-crust-ice-cream-cone.md) - [Upside Down Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vice-versa.md) - [Chocolate-Filled Mini Waffle Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/langtins-coneys.md) - [Ice Cream Ramen Bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-cream-volcano.md) - [Sweet Bunny-Inspired Sundaes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bunny-cone-head-sundae.md)
