About Ice Cream Cone Day
Middle East/West Asia , Civil Rights
United States
Ends: Dec 15, 2021
DESCRIPTION:
National Ice Cream Cone Day celebrates the edible and portable summer treat.
The first edible cone for ice cream was created in 1904 by Ernest Hamwi at the St. Louis World's Fair. The Syrian immigrant had his zalabis (Syrian Waffle) booth adjacent to the ice cream vendor at the fair. When his neighbor ran out of dishes to serve the ice cream, Hamwi displayed a moment of brilliance, rolled a waffle into a cone and put ice cream in it. And thus a legendary treat was born!
This wasn't the first edible dish for ice cream. That honor goes to Italo Marchiony, an Italian immigrant, who created mini dishes from pastry to make ice cream a portable street food in 1896. He filed his patent for the ice cream cuplets on September 22, 1903 and was granted the patent December 15, 1903. This day falls on the anniversary of that patent.
The cone itself, though, was created and popularized by Hamwi.
PROMOTION IDEA:
The next time you eat an ice cream cone, take pause and thank the immigrant who created it. Today, under the current US administration, Hamwi wouldn't be allowed to come to the United States because he was from Syria. In fact, eating an ice cream cone today in his honor could be a tremendous sign of protest and for any enterprising NGOs and vendors serving the Syrian refugee community, a chance to raise much needed funds and awareness through the simple, yet elegant, ice cream cone.
