The popular vanilla Drumstick is a cone of vanilla ice cream that is coated with chocolate and roasted peanuts. It is a summer staple for many and Drumstick has come out with many different flavors over the years, including Kit Kat! Many people love that little bit of chocolate that is at the bottom of the cone. There is already chocolate chip cookie cereal, so no surprise that ice cream cone cereal has come along.

In the United States, some of the flavors that have been available are caramel and fudge-filled cones, Mint Chocolate Crunch, Cookies and Cream Crunch, and simply dipped, cones filled with caramel, chocolate, and plain vanilla.

An ice cream maker at the fair discovered that he ran out of bowls to serve ice cream. He still had ice cream to sell, so he asked a waffle vendor to roll some waffles into cones for his ice cream. His ice cream sold and it became a finger food. In 1928, the Parker Brothers, Bruce, I.C., and J.T., added to the invention by adding a chocolate coating with nuts to it. One of the brothers’ wives said that this invention looked like a chicken leg, commonly nicknamed a drumstick in the US."
