It would appear that they're not in production yet, but if anyone can prove me wrong and find out where to buy one, then be my guest
Maybe i'll just have to make one first... hmmm.

It's insulated with icing so it doesn't melt through and go soggy.

The heat of the coffee would eventually melt the icing enough for it to soak through.

The sugar content of that icing will be through the roof also.

At 1st, you wouldn't know how much sugar to put in, then eventually as the coffee starts to melt it, the sugars will seep out the icing.

You just know you'd take a bite, a big chunk would come off and you'd end up with coffee all over your lap.

The idea is that you finish the coffee then eat the cookie.

And I reckon the icing has been tested enough not to melt through. People will have thought of these things

Only way you could really test it is to leave it sitting and see how long it will take before it starts to break down. And with the heat of a hot coffee, it certainly won't take long.

Theres nothing you can add to it, to stop it breaking down any quicker either. Also looks to be a very thing layer of icing.

What if you had a hot cup of coffee and you tried to pick that up over the top of a babies face using the handle and it breaks off, youd be gutted.

I am satisfied with your scientific reasoning.

Analysing something instead of just taking it at face value, textbook common sense.

Are you really saying that there's no substance on earth that could be put into icing to stop heat and moisture breaking it down?

Are you seriously questioning him when he's put up such solid arguments as "i work with the stuff 5 days a week"???

Big on your part, John!

Probably lots of things, super glue could be 1.

But once you start adding things, it will start to take away the taste, and also the name. It won't be icing anymore.

You could add instant clear gel, soft set icing etc, but it still wouldn't hold up against boiling water. Well, not for very long.
