== Is it a cone or a cup? ==they havee= a dick a the end The Ice Cream Industry needs to establish some standards around the names allowed to be applied to the item we generically call an ice cream cone. This has been an on-going concern for several of my friends and I.

If you go to Baskin Robbins (a legend in the industry) you will find that what you buy in all grocery stores as an Ice Cream Cup (i.e. Kiddie Cup) named for having a flat bottom, THEY call a "cone".

It is about time the edible ice cream holder manufactures and the ice cream companys establish naming standards. If I want a cone, I should be able to ask for it with out confusion and if I want a cup I should not have to provide the teenager behind the counter at Baskin Robbins a history lesson on ice cream cones. I would like to thank Ernie Kebbler for having the integrity to name the products that his elves create in the magic tree correctly. I wish that the Baskin Robbins, DQ, and other establishments would take as much as care in naming the cones properly as they do coming up with all the flavors that offer.

Happy "Birth of the Ice Cream Cone" day to each of you Septemeber 21!!

Note, they do have Ice Cream cones made from the same recipe as a ice cream cup, I think you have to specify more cleary these days as there are a number of possible choices like, Ice cream in a waffle cone, ice cream in a sugar cone, ice cream in a tapioca/cake cup, etc..

[edit] Ice Cream Cone in Pocket?

I've heard it against the law in many US states to have an ice cream cone in your pocket or back pocket. Is that true? Itsdannyg 19:58, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

If it is, then it's the stupidest law in existence. May as well ban people from using jelly-powered lawn mowers. Chaparral2J (talk) 01:24, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Links/Inventor

Check links-to, esp. July 23, for another person said to be the inventor. Stan 01:11, 14 Jan 2004 (UTC)

[edit] My copyedit

One of the copyedits I did was changing "permitting it to be eaten" to "allowing it to be eaten". The ice cream cone is an inanimate object, and therefore can't give permission to be eaten a certain way. I realise that might be an eccentric interpretation of the sentence, but I don't think I'd be the only one to take it that way. That copyedit would've just taken too long to explain in an edit summary. Graham 12:39, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Calendar entry 1904 (23 July)

Well I impersonalised the entry on 23 July because according to this article and the links it is not all too clear who really invented the first ice cream cone. --SabineCretella 10:46, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Entry on October 3, 2006-----

I can verify that the ice cream vendor who worked with the "waffle" maker to invent the ice cream cone was Arnold Fornachon, my grandfather, who sold ice cream at the St. Louis World's Fair. He often spoke of the event and what he did when he ran out of paper cones for the ice cream he was selling.... made waffle cones.


[edit] molded/moulded spelling edit

i changed 'molded' to the english spelling - 'moulded' since i believe that english wikipedia articles should be spelt in english. hope no-one minds.

I believe you mean "British English" or "International English"? Unless you're trying to be elitist and are implying that American English isn't true English. Whilst I think a point could be made that as this article mentions the British origins of the ice cream cone British English spelling is best suited to it, I also think you should be as clear as possible so as to avoid accusations of being a bigot. Also, signing is a good thing 71.215.195.116 (talk) 18:54, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Link Query

What does this have to do with ice cream koan (link from article on koans) ? 195.27.17.3 08:50, 3 May 2007 (UTC) Jpur

[edit] Inventor's Name

It is "Marchioni" NOT "Marchiony" -- FYI, there is no "Y" in the Italian Alphabet, see: http://italian.about.com/library/fare/blfare101a.htm


[edit] Researching Why Ice Cream runs to the bottom of the cone

I don't know if anyone has done research on this, even if it does seem stupid, it is a bit of mystery that people would look up a wikipedia article for. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.113.29.191 (talk) 02:16, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

ice cream cones hold protein for your body and its healthy for you!!!

ice cream cones hold milk, cheese, and calcuim.

[edit] History Edit

The first part of this section didn't fit the chronological flow of the rest of it (the same factoid is mentioned later on in a more fitting place.) In addition, it is very informal and POV. I'm nixing it. 71.215.195.116 (talk) 19:00, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
