America's Favorite Sundae Cone. Since 1928. At the 1904 World's Fair, an ice cream maker ran out of bowls. He asked a nearby waffle vendor to roll waffles into cones, turning them into finger food. In 1928 the Parker brothers (Bruce and twins I.C. and J.T. Stubby) took this great invention even further by adding chocolate coating topped with nuts. One of the brothers' wives said it looked like a fried chicken leg, thus the Drumstick was born! With that, Drumstick became the Original Sundae Cone. Today Nestle Drumstick is America's no.1 sundae cone. Inner units not labeled for retail sale.
