🍦 CONE FACTS!
Did you know the history of the ice cream cone goes back much farther than you might think?
📜 References to cone-shaped waffle treats appear in European cookbooks as far back as the 1800s.
🎡 Ice cream cones became especially popular in the United States around the turn of the 20th century.
⭐ The 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis is famously associated with the rise of the ice cream cone, although historians have documented several competing claims about who actually invented it. (National Day Calendar)
🍦 Before edible cones became common, ice cream was often served in dishes or glasses — meaning the cone gave us something pretty amazing: an edible bowl you can eat! 😋
And today, we’re celebrating that delicious little invention the Route 66 way!
