Once upon a time, folks would stroll fairs and beaches, ice cream in their bare hands–what a mess! On this day (July 23) at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, Arnold Fornachou formed a waffle into a cone and made the first commercial ice cream cones. No more drippy hands! (cones had been tried before but had never became popular) Go out and buy that cone!
