Best Answer

Sodas were a big seller at ice cream parlors and drug stores. Some states banned the sale of Carbonated Beverages on Sundays. In order to attract customers, they would make an 'ice cream soda' without the soda, which is essentially ice cream and syrup with the whipped cream on top.

To replace the use of glass and paper ice cream holders. It helped better hygiene and saved vendors money from the glass cups being stolen.

There is some debate about why the first ice cream cone was invented.

The generally accepted story credits its invention to Charles E Menches, an ice cream seller in St. Louis, Missouri. At the time, ice cream was always served in dishes. The story goes that, whilst selling ice cream at the St Louis World's Fair (the Louisiana Purchase Exhibition), Menches ran out of dishes. Nearby, Ernest Hamwi was selling a Middle eastern treat called Zalabia, a crispy, wafer that was sold with syrup. Menches thought up the idea of rolling up the wafers, and filling the cone with two scoops of ice cream. For this reason, Menches is credited with introducing the concept of the ice cream cone.

Another source suggests that edible ice cream cones have been made for at least two hundred years, and were initially used as a novel way to serve ice cream at dinner parties and in cafes, and so on. Once they became mass-produced and popularised, in the early twentieth century, they made it possible for ice cream to become a fast food, or street food, because they were invented long before the days of disposable cups, bowls and spoons; with an ice cream cone it was possible to buy a scoop of ice cream from a street vendor or cafe and eat it as one walked along.
