Missouri: Ice cream cone

Vanilla? Chocolate? Mint chocolate chip? Rocky road? Whatever your favorite flavor may be, ice cream is ice cream, and the state of Missouri recognized its superiority when they declared it their official state dessert in 2008. The ice cream cone was first created in 1904 at the St. Louis World’s Fair when vendors began rolling up waffles and filling them with ice cream.
