If Mr. Puggle was a Chicago Rainbow Cone Cop
I took this picture last week end at the famous Original Rainbow Cone. Chicago Cops are not only doughnut minded. Rainbow cone is a south side staple in the summertime! If you are lucky enough to visit the Taste of Chicago, try it! If not, stop on the south side and say, "Hi" to Mr. Puggle who LOVES rainbow cone.
Rainbow's founder, Joseph Sapp, was an orphan who used to dream of getting more than one flavor of ice cream on the spoon for his 1 cent investment. So when he grew up, he invented the five-flavor Rainbow Cone, which features chocolate, pistachio, strawberry and Palmer House (a cherry-nut blend) ice creams, as well as a layer of orange sherbet. More than 80 years after he invented this delight, families still flock from miles around every summer to enjoy the cool concoction at its original site
