The Maras Dondurma sellers in the stalls also like to mess around, especially with kids and put on a show. For example, the give you the ice cream in two cones (stacked on top of each other), and then pull up their big spoon (see one of the pics in the article). Because the ice cream is sticky, it pulls the upper cone with it, and you're left holding an empty cone.
