I mean, when it first came out it was unlike anything else out there, you know? The company was founded in the 60s by Reuben Mattus, a native New Yorker from the Bronx. He wanted to give his ice cream a Danish sounding name because he thought it would convey an image of old world tradition and craftsmanship. He thought right, didnt he? And by the way, he added that <b>\u00e4<\/b> (called an umlaut) to make the product stand out, even though the punctuation mark doesn\u2019t even exist in the Danish language! I think it\u2019s marketing genius.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/cone.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3354\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/cone.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<b>How did the ice cream cone happen? <\/b>As usual with inventions, there are conflicting stories as to who actually came up with the original idea. Although a couple of patents for edible cones had been filed earlier, it took a big event like the 1904 St. Louis Exposition to bring it to everyone\u2019s attention. The story is that at the fair, an ice cream vendor by the name of Arnold Fornachou enlisted the aid of a waffle maker named Ernest Hamwi, who sold him waffles when Fornachou ran out of paper cups for his ice creams. He started rolling the waffles into cones to hold the scoops, and this was how the ice cream cone went mainstream!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/monaka.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3355\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/monaka.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<b>Japanese ice cream sandwiches are da bomb. <\/b>No, they\u2019re not sandwiched between two cookies or two biscuits. It\u2019s more like a wafer cone that\u2019s been shaped into a hollow brick, so the ice cream can be loaded into it. When you think about it, it\u2019s so elegantly Japanese! It\u2019s like an ice cream cone without the mess\u2014self contained, easy to eat, easy to transport and with a longer melting time! The wafers are called <i>monaka,<\/i> and they\u2019ve been around for ages. Today there are dozens of flavors and fillings to make them more exciting than just plain vanilla. The one you see here is filled with <i>matcha<\/i> ice cream and lined with milk chocolate. Yummy!

Aren\u2019t you curious? Why does this happen sometimes when we eat ice cream? Actually, it happens when we eat or drink anything that\u2019s really cold too fast. The blood vessels in the roof of the mouth constrict when sudden cold contacts it, causing the sensitive nerves in your palate to trigger a headache. So one solution is to push your tongue to the roof of your mouth to warm it up, and your headache will gradually disappear. Another is the drink warm water. The best way to avoid brain freeze though, is to not scarf your ice cream! As much as we love it, don\u2019t stuff your mouth with so much so fast!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enjoy National Ice Cream Month!

Zojirushi enthusiast and professional writer. California resident with roots in Hawaii and Japan. Classic rock, popcorn movies, audio books, spam, sushi and cone filtered coffee. Guilty pleasures include donuts and pop bands like ABBA and Wham! Don't laugh, you should see my vinyl collection--I give hair bands and prog equal credit.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog"],"url":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/author\/btanimoto\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3352"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3352\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3361,"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3352\/revisions\/3361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
