The Ice Cream Cone
Waffles are great, ice cream is also great, combining the two is just sheer genius. Which is exactly what Italo Marchiony did in 1896 after he emigrated from Italy in the late 1800’s. He was granted a patent for it in December 1903. This story isn’t about him though. The ice cream cone that’s closest to the one we all know and love was invented totally independently of Marchiony at the St. Louis World Fair in 1904. Bit of a kick in the teeth for Marchiony, considering he technically had the idea first; although considering he earned millions from his patent and went on to develop all different types of ice cream holders, we imagine he wasn’t too upset.
The ice cream cone 🍦
In 1904, World Fair St. Louis, a Persian stand selling crisp, waffle-y pastries called ‘zalabis’ is staring jealously over to its neighbour, an ice cream vendor who is having far more success selling its wares. So much success, in fact, that the stall starts to run out of dishes in which to give out its ice cream. Hamwi, the waffle store owner quickly saw a way to butt in on the profits and rolled one of his thin pastries into the shape of a cone and gave it to the ice cream vendor, presumably with a wink and a smirk. The cone cooled quickly, and the vendor put some ice cream in it, an accidental invention that was an instant hit.
