It looks like those cone "gifts for teacher" you sometimes see in the hand of a child klicky on the way to school.

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Yes, that's exactly what it is. I wonder if it has contents, or is it just the container?

there was a thread not long ago, I think by Skypurr, explaining all about this cones. I suck at searching, sorry I can't link it.
But it was very informative!  :clover:

I saw these before. They're sold at the Fun Park. It's like a box of chocolate: you never know what you gonna ge-eet! ;-D
except here you can expect a top agent figure. Some kind of loot bag for children parties IMO.

These cones are gifts for a child (not the teacher) on his or her first day of school.  Here is a fuller explanation from Wikipedia:  Schultüte   :)
