Cones, Sundaes and Storms
A cone is soft serve on its own. A sundae is soft serve in a cup with sauce poured through it. A Storm has confectionery blended through the soft serve rather than sauce over it, which changes the texture of the whole dessert rather than sitting on top of it. That is the practical difference and it decides which one suits you.
The energy range is wider than the menu suggests. A Soft Serve Cone carries 790 kJ and a Biscoff Storm carries 2,610 kJ, which is more than three times as much and comparable with a full Whopper at 2,437 kJ. The Biscoff Storm is heavy because Biscoff comes in twice, as spread and as biscuit, and the spread adds fat as well as sugar.
The sensible surprise on this menu is the Sticky Date Pudding at $4.80 and 958 kJ. It is the only hot dessert and one of the lightest, carrying less than half a Chocolate Sundae at 2,227 kJ. A hot pudding sounding heavier than an ice cream and turning out not to be is the sort of thing worth checking rather than assuming.
Among the sundaes the differences are modest and all three cost $6.05. Strawberry at 2,097 kJ is the lightest because fruit sauce carries less than dairy and cocoa based sauces do, and it is also the only one with any acid in it, which keeps it interesting to the bottom of the cup.
The Hungry Jack's Desserts menu holds the cheapest item in the whole restaurant, and it has done for years. A soft serve cone still costs less than a small chips.
