Imma have to ask. Why are these talked about so badly?

I’ve never seen them in real life, so I have no idea if they actually taste bad.

they taste exactly like small traffic cones.
Are you talking about 30cm traffic cones? Unfortunately I don’t ever see them used since they’re not allowed for any real work. The smallest I can try are 50cm, but that’s pretty big already.
Tell me you’ve never gnawed on a traffic cone without telling me you’ve never gnawed on a traffic cone.
