At the 1904 World’s Fair, an ice cream maker ran out of bowls. He asked a nearby waffle vendor to roll his waffles into cones—and turned ice cream into a finger food.
Then in 1928, the Parker brothers (Bruce and twins I.C. and J.T. “Stubby” Parker) took this great invention even further by adding a chocolate coating topped with nuts. One of the brothers’ wives said it looked like a fried chicken leg, and the “Drumstick” cone was born.
Today, NESTLÉ® DRUMSTICK® cones are America’s favorite frozen treat, and we proudly make them in the USA.
