Ice Cream Cones For Sale!
Six men and one woman claim to be the inventor of the ice cream cone at the fair, but in reality none of them did. The person who invented the ice cream cone had to barter to get the materials in exchange for something else. After the cone was invented other kinds of cones started to appear like the waffle cone, resulting in competition and lower prices.
