TRAFFIC CONE PRESERVATION SOCIETY
POPULAR CULTURE

There is a growing public fascination with cones.  From cones that appear in comic strips and art to decorated cones by Robyn Hitchcock, cones are ever present, hard-working and increasingly glamorous members of society.

 

Much of the current "Cone Mania" was fueled by the popular "Krazy Kone" public service announcements. These commercials informed and captivated millions, and did much to change the image of the modern cone. Although some scientists are concerned about the "Teddybearification" of traffic cones, most are delighted by the publicity it brings to preservation efforts.
