In a statement, a McDonald's spokesperson said, "We're committed to our 'Value means more at Macca's' promise, which includes providing our customers with exceptional everyday value, great customer service, 24/7 convenience and focusing on year-round offers like our family bundles."
"Customers can also get great value at McDonald's through My Macca's Rewards – which offers great discounts, weekly deals and loyalty rewards - and through our year-round Loose Change Menu.
"Like all businesses, we review our prices from time to time, considering several factors, including the higher-cost environment we are all operating in.
"As individual businesses, McDonald's prices are set at a restaurant level."
Social media users have been quick to comment their thoughts.
"I remember the outrage when they went up to 40c. It felt weird to even say 'a 40c cone.' In fact, I think everyone just says 'soft serve' now," one said.
Another added, "I remember it being 25c and then being shocked when it went to 50c".
Some noted soft-served ice creams were available at a cheaper price at other fast food brands, "Hungry Jacks it's $.80," with another user agreeing, "Hungry Jacks soft cones are the best."
One shared, "These cones which vary incredibly in size depending on the whim of the server are no longer a drawcard to further purchases."
Despite the price increase, some users did acknowledge that though more expensive than normal, it's still more affordable than other ice cream on the market.
"Pretty cheap to be fair. Tell me where you get soft serve ice cream cheaper in Australia…."
