treeseed Drumstick is the brand name for different novelty ice cream cones sold in the United States, Australia, Canada, and other countries across the world.
A typical Drumstick-brand ice cream cone is a waffle cone filled with ice cream, topped with chocolate and nuts, has a chunk of chocolate in the bottom of the cone and is commonly found in the frozen food section of a US grocery store. However in Australia a chocolate cone variety called Drumstick Royale is available, which replaces the waffle cone with a solid chocolate cone.
The original product was invented by I.C. Parker of The Drumstick Company in 1928.
