Who Scooped the First Ice-Cream Cone?

Joshua Korenblat

Most ice-cream cones end the same way, (35) ______ sweetly on the tongue. But how did the first ice-cream cone begin? Tales of the cone’s invention (36) ______ on one spot: the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, Missouri. In one story, an ice-cream vendor ran out of serving dishes and was rescued by Ernest Hamwi, a Syrian immigrant selling Middle Eastern waffles at the next stand. Another Syrian immigrant claimed it was his idea (37) ______ a hot waffle, let it harden, then plop in the ice-cream. Yet a third claimant was former (38) ______ acrobat Charles Menches, who is said to have peeled away one side of an ice-cream sandwich to make an (39) ______ vase for flowers, then molded the other side to hold the remaining ice cream. Hamwi and Menches went on to create ice-cream-cone empires.

One earlier claim gets lost in the hubbub: Five months before the World’s Fair, a patent (40) ______ to candy-maker Italo Marchiony: ”I claim as my invention ... a molding apparatus for creating ice-cream cups and the like.” If only he’d said cones.

Tales of the cone’s invention (36) ______ on one spot: the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, Missouri.
