A brief history of Drumstick Ice Cream
Drumstick Ice Cream has a long and fascinating history that dates back to the roaring twenties. In 1928, I.
C. Parker Company introduced the first Drumstick Cone in Fort Worth, Texas. This crunchy cone was filled with vanilla ice cream and had a chocolate coating on top.
The name “Drumstick” comes from its shape as it resembles a chicken drumstick. The company wanted to create an ice cream treat that could be eaten on-the-go without making a mess, and thus the iconic waffle cone was born.
Over the years, Drumstick added new flavors such as caramel and strawberry, but it wasn’t until 1959 when they introduced their most popular flavor: The Classic Vanilla Caramel Cone. It consists of creamy vanilla ice cream topped with rich caramel sauce and coated with peanuts.
Today, Nestle owns the brand after acquiring it in 1991 from its original parent company Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream Inc., but one thing remains constant: people still love Drumstick Ice Cream!
