TRUTH !!
One summer day in 1919, inspired by a boy who couldn't decide between ice cream or candy in his store, part-time schoolteacher Christian Kent Nelson of Onawa, Iowa, invented the I-Scream-Bar--- chocolate-covered ice cream
on a stick. It was an immediate hit, and in 1921, Nelson partnered with a candy maker named Russell Stover to market and produce the bar, re-named
"Eskimo Pie".
By early 1922, the bars were selling at a rate of over 1 million a day.
