10 and upon the analyses of ice cream cones previously published by 

 Rose.i The results are reported in Table 11. In general, only 59 

 per cent more energy is served in the 10-cent cone than in the 5-cent 

 cone. In three 5-cent cones one would obtain on the average the 

 same fresh weight of ice cream as in one half-pint box costing 15 

 cents but the average total calories in the three 5-cent cones would 

 be somewhat greater than the average total calories in the 15-cent 

 servings of ice cream, probably due to the energy value of the cones. 

 Comparisons of the protein and the calories for ten cents show the 

 highest values in the case of the 5-cent cone. 



SUNDAES 



In recent years ice cream covered with various sauces and fre- 

 quently also with chopped nuts has had a great vogue under the 

 special name of "Sundae." These almost invariably cost fifteen 

 cents. A number were analyzed, and the results are given in Table 

 12. The energy value of the sundaes per gram of air-dry matter is 

 lower than that of ice cream alone, averaging 4.8 calories. The 

 total protein content is also lower in most instances, even with the 

 sundaes containing nuts. The energy value per ten cents is about 

 250 calories or nearly 100 calories less than in the ice creams. 



MILK SHAKES 



The analyses of three special milk beverages, the so-called "milk 

 shakes," are listed in Table 13. These did not contain ice cream. 

 The banana premulger consisted of one whole, fresh banana whipped 

 up in milk. The two chocolate milk shakes were made of cocoa 

 syrup and milk, the volume of each being one pint. In the chocolate 

 milk shakes the total energy content is from 450 to 500 calories and 

 the protein content from 14 to 15 grams. Hence the chocolate milk 

 shake sold at ten cents per pint is an inexpensive food.
