The Story of the Eskimo Pie

A long time ago, in Iowa, a man named Christian K. Nelson became puzzled by a little boy's indecision between a chocolate candy bar and a scoop of ice cream. When questioned, the freckle-faced boy replied "I want 'em both, but I only got a nickel."

Nelson had an idea. If he could combine the ice cream and the chocolate into a convenient bar, little boys -- and girls -- everywhere could enjoy their two favorite treats at the same time. Naturally, the Eskimo Pie was a smashing success!
