The History of the Ice Cream Cone
While ice cream has been around for centuries, the ice cream cone has a more recent origin. It's believed that the ice cream cone gained popularity at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. An ice cream vendor ran out of dishes, and a nearby waffle vendor offered to roll his waffles into a cone shape to hold the ice cream. And thus, the ice cream cone was born!
