Catalin,
How did you know how to make that? Did anyone bring mac and cheese with cut up weinies?

No mac-n-cheese at all. There were actually some yummy fried sweet potato balls with a bourbon dip. For the record, what I made was not edible. I was just going to make jello, but it didn't set very well. So then I thought, "How can I serve this?" which led me to the ice cream cups. Unfortunately, as the jello sat in the cups, the cups (already stale) got really soft. The whipped cream on top was just a natural flourish!
Did you know that your idea to serve jello in ice cream cups is not unlike the guy who first had the idea to serve ice cream in a cone? Lemme tell ya a little story about it: A fellow by the name of Charles Menches was serving ice cream at a fair in Missouri when he ran out of his regular glass dishes on one particularly hot and busy day. This Syrian dude in the booth next to his was selling Zalabia, a Middle Eastern crispy, wafer-like flat bread. So Charles decided to fold them up into cones and serve his ice cream in them which turned out to be so much better than glass dishes since he would not only not have to wash the used ones, but also the customers could walk around the fair while eating his product. Hurray!
