Ice cream cones
At the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904, an ice cream seller named Arnold Fornachou was selling so many ice creams that he ran out of cups. Luckily, a man named Syrian Ernest Hamwi, who was selling pastries nearby, decided to come to Fornachou's rescue. Hamwi rolled up the waffle-like pastry he was selling and gave it to Forachou for his ice cream. The first "waffle cone" was an instant hit.
