At first, he sold ice cream in ordinary cups and saucers, but by noon, all the cups and saucers were used up. When Mr. Arnold didn’t know how to deal with the business in the afternoon, Mr. Ernest rolled his crepes into cones and handed them to Arnold for ice cream.

Arnold used this wafer to roll his ice cream to sell, and Zalabia became an ice cream cone. Later, this edible ice cream cone became popular.
