Today, September 22, 2013, is National Ice Cream Cone Day. An ice cream cone, poke or cornet is a dry, cone-shaped pastry, usually made of a wafer similar in texture to a waffle, which enables ice cream to be held in the hand and eaten without a bowl or spoon. Various types of ice cream cones include waffle cones, cake cones (or wafer cones), pretzel cones, sugar cones and chocolate-coated cones.
