However, a woman was in no mood to fall for the trick and pulled off a manoeuvre of her own to outwit the vendor.
In a video that has gone viral on social media, the woman is seen outwitting the vendor by grabbing a scoop of ice cream in her hand. Not only that, she even managed to snatch the cone as well. That's some achievement.
The video was shared by a meme page, moistnlover.
The video has garnered more than 5,00,000 views. People were left impressed by the woman's quick reflexes.
"She never missed an ice cream bet," one user commented. "Who said the queen is dead???" another user said. "Her husband walking around all day with a raw glizzy for the past 20 years," a third user said.
Man outsmarts Turkish ice cream seller and runs away with a large scoop
Earlier, a video went viral showing a man outfoxing a Turkish ice cream seller and running away with a large scoop. In the video, the man is seen grabbing a large scoop of the ice cream, offered as part of the act, and running away with it.
The video starts with the vendor offering a cone to the man, which he gleefully accepts. The vendor then can be seen taking out a large scoop of ice cream, to pull off the usual trick.
The man, however, agile and astute, quickly pounced even before the vendor could pull off a trick or two. The man gets hold of the large scoop with both his hands and runs away with it. His friends who shot the video could see the funny side of it.
Turkish ice cream vendors are famous for serving ice cream with rituals. And this particular prank is part of the ritual.
The ice cream prank is a tradition in Turkey, where ice cream sellers make their customers reach for a cone before pulling it away and continuing the trick. The sticky ice cream is made with orchids to give it a ¡°gummy¡± texture that allows it to be thrown around without spilling, according to the BBC.
The ice cream prank was started in Kahramanmara?, a city in Turkey. But now it's popular in Istanbul.
Vendors serve the ice cream cone on a stick and then take it away as soon as the customer tries to grab it by rotating it around, tossing it in the air, and making it disappear, before finally giving it to the customer.
This sometimes results in misunderstandings among tourists unfamiliar with the practice, but the show is all in good favour of fun and tradition. The shows usually draw in crowds of curious onlookers, and most people can have a laugh and enjoy their cones while watching the next customer.
