Listen "The Ice Cream Cone Got The Spotlight At The 1904 World’s Fair, But That Isn’t When It Was Invented"
Episode Synopsis
Today was the day in 1904 that a guy at the St. Louis World’s Fair took a pastry cone, put two scoops of ice cream inside, and changed the dessert world forever. Except that there are a bunch of ice cream cone origin stories from that World's Fair, and also, ice cream cones were around for more than a century before that. Plus: The US Postal Service is remembering game show legend Alex Trebek this year with a stamp that includes a Jeopardy-style clue.
