This is because it is only natural for people to switch to the next best alternative (substitute) that fills the same purpose or needs.

3. Remember Ice cream and ice cream cones complementary goods; meaning the demand for one increases the demand for the other and vice versa.

4. If the price of ice cream increases, demand would also decrease for ice cream as consumers are usually sensitive to price.

This decrease in the demand for ice cream would also affect ice cream cones since they complement each other, leading to a decrease in the demand for ice cream cones.
