Book 26, Question 10
Who invented the ice cream cone?
Stories differ.
Many people say that at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, an ice cream seller ran out of dishes. A waffle maker named Ernest Hamwi, in a booth next to him, rolled one of his thin waffles into a cone, and the ice cream fit inside. Others say an Italian inventor, Italo Marchiony, had a patent for a cone mold in 1903. Cones may have been invented in several places.
