Why do ice cream cones exist and what are they made from?!


Question: The invention of an ice cream cone is an interesting story. The first edible conical shaped ice cream cone was invented by Ernest Hamwi in 1904 at St.Louis Fair, Missouri.

He had a 'Zalabia' (a flat, crisp, wafer-like pastry sold with syrup) booth in St.Louis Fair and his booth was situated next to an ice cream booth. When the ice cream vendor, Arnold Fornachou, ran short of dishes Hamwi rolled a waffle to contain ice cream and the cone was born.

After the fair, Hamwi joined with J. P. Heckle and helped him develop and open the Cornucopia Waffle Company. Ernest traveled throughout the United State introducing the World's Fair Cornucopia as a new way of eating ice cream.

Ice cream cone is usually made of a wafer similar in texture to a waffle.

ice cream cones were invented because people were tired of holding dripping piles of it in their hands, and getting it all over their shoes.
They tried paper cones but alas, the result was the same.
They are made out of the sawdust that is left over from Ikea furniture and C grade maple syrup.
This saw dust is also the main ingredient in the Ikea meatballs.
