Ice Cream Cone Invention At Fair And Popsicle Origin
The tale credits Ernest A. Hamwi with creating the ice cream cone at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair when his pastry shaped into a cone saved a dish shortage. Separately, Frank Epperson made the Popsicle in 1923 after leaving a lemonade frozen with a spoon in the glass. The rest of the text notes personal reflection about milk from a cow.
