Ice creams sandwiches have been around since the turn of the century, but the version we see the most at the supermarket was was invented in 1945 by Jerry Newberg. He sold them during baseball games at Forbes Field, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
These were made by Pippaloo.
Wow, I had no idea that they were from my home state (at least in their more common modern incarnation). Any idea what they typically looked like before 1945?
