The first ice cream cone was invented in 1896 by Italo Marchiony, an Italian immigrant living in New York City. Marchiony was selling ice cream at the St. Louis World's Fair when he ran out of paper cups. He saw a nearby waffle vendor and had the idea to roll up a waffle into a cone and use it to hold his ice cream. The ice cream cone was a hit, and it quickly became the standard way to eat ice cream.

Today, there are many different types of ice cream cones available. Some of the most popular types include sugar cones, waffle cones, cake cones, and chocolate cones. There are also ice cream cones in a variety of sizes and shapes.
