Favorite Ice Cream Flavors
The ice cream cone is 100! Italo Marchiony got credit for inventing the first cone in September 1903. But a year later, at the St. Louis World's Fair, a man selling ice cream had the same idea. When he ran out of dishes, he rolled up a waferlike pastry and filled it with ice cream. Our favorite creamy, crunchy treat was born! Here are the ice cream flavors that Americans buy the most.
1 Vanilla 28%
2 Chocolate 8%
3 Neapolitan 7% (vanilla, chocolate and strawberry)
4 Butter pecan 4.5%
5 Chocolate chip 3.5%
