You see a guy selling waffles at the next booth, and you think a crazy thought. Roll up a waffle, delicious scoop goes on top, boom. World, prepare to meet the Drumstick cone.

A happy accident

Drumstick Founder, I.C. Parker was eating an ice cream cone in a candy factory when the cone was accidentally dropped into a vat of chocolate. After being retrieved, it was placed on a peanut-covered counter. And the name? Well, it looked like a chicken drumstick. The rest is history.
