During World War II, ice cream served as a morale booster. The first floating ice cream parlor was built for sailors in the Pacific in 1945. America celebrated its World War II victory with ice cream. The ice cream cone was invented in 1896 in New York City by Italo Marchiony. At the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, a Syrian concessionaire named Ernest Hamwi first came up with the waffle cone. When an ice cream vendow ran out of dishes, Mr. Hamwi rolled his wafer like waffles in to a waffle cone. When it cold, the ice cream vendor put ice cream on it. The customer liked it and the rest is history.
