The "Eskimo Pie", came into existence under another name as well. What was the "Eskimo Pie" first called?
The "I-Scream-Bar"
A salesman/schoolteacher named Christian Kent Nelson came up with this new frozen treat around 1920.
How is an "Eskimo Pie" made?
Dipping an ice cream bar into chocolate . According to the article Mr. Nelson came up with the idea for his creation after seeing a young boy trying to decide to buy either an ice cream or a candy bar with his treat money. In 1921, Mr. Nelson teamed with candy maker Russell C. Stover to produce the re-named "Eskimo Pie".
By 1922 how many "Eskimo Pies" were being sold daily?
1,000,000.
According to the article these were huge sales for the time and supposedly caused a price spike of 50 per cent in the cost of cocoa beans. In 1934 "Eskimo Pies" got a stick added to hold it, which pleased parents as their children's hands stayed much cleaner and less sticky.
Mom wants to know:
Are your neighbors nice? Do they nibble your bushes?
Does Santa deliver toys with the tractor?
Will there be a Christmas parade down Main Street?
Do you call it a snow roof in the winter?
