How was the ice cream cone inveted?

Answer 1

In Victorian times the ice cream cones were made of glass. They were reusable but with no running water in most ice cream stalls the glass cones were often not washed. This gave rise to the edible ice cream cone.

Answer 2

Long ago... In Chicago... At a World's Fair... An ice cream vendor ran out of cups and there was a waffle maker at the very next booth. So he asked that waffle maker if he could make something to put ice cream in. The quick-thinking waffle maker made a cone!

A California-American English translation follows:

A dude selling ice cream ran out of bowls that he sold his ice cream in ,so he asked the waffle dude next door if he could use some of his waffles to sell his ice cream in. The waffle dude twisted his waffles in to a cone shape and voila! Hello ice cream cone!!
