In Popular Culture
Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright's series of three films (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and an as-yet unreleased 3rd film provisionally entitled The World's End) is jokingly referred to as "The Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy" or "Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy", as each film features a Cornetto of a different flavor. Director Edgar Wright considers the Cornetto to be a hangover cure, and it appears as such in Shaun of the Dead. In the 2010 horror film Cornered!, the Convenience Store Killer murders a woman by stabbing her with two hardened Cornettos.
The Cornetto is also referenced in the Bell X1 song, "The Great Defector".
The novelty band Pookiesnackenburger released a single "Just One Cornetto" in 1982.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Culture is the suggestion, from certain best thoughts, that a man has a range of affinities through which he can modulate the violence of any master-tones that have a droning preponderance in his scale, and succor him against himself. Culture redresses this imbalance, puts him among equals and superiors, revives the delicious sense of sympathy, and warns him of the dangers of solitude and repulsion.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
