Trivia: Which dessert originally went by the name “hokey pokeys”?
Ice cream sandwiches
Lemon bars
Brownies
Rice Krispie treats
The correct answer is Ice cream sandwiches
So why is this answer correct? : In the late 19th century, street vendors in New York City began selling ice cream sandwiched in paper known as “hokey pokeys” for one cent. By the turn of the century, the sweet treat became popular among Wall Street workers. As the decades rolled on, the ice cream sandwich began to evolve. In 1928, an ice cream vendor in San Francisco sandwiched a scoop of ice cream between two oatmeal cookies and dipped it in chocolate, birthing the “chipwich” we love today.
