Started Showing Up at State Fairs
The local fair is perhaps where snow cones are best known; the State Fair of Texas in 1919 is thought to have been the first fair where they were offered for sale. Bert Samuel was the brains behind this, but he didn’t stop there. These sweets were so well-liked that Mr. Samuel not only delighted fairgoers with their deliciousness but he also invented a snow cone machine in 1920 and sold it all over the world.
Different Types of Treats
It should be noted that there are several kinds of shaved-ice delicacies from various places, including the Business name. For instance, whereas Snow Balls and a shaved-ice snow cone are made of much more refined, softer ice, a traditional snow cone is formed of more rigid ice chips and is more akin to classic Italian ice.
