Christian Kent Nelson (who was also a high school teacher) invented the Eskimo Pie in Onawa, Iowa in 1919 or 1920. He originally called it the I-Scream-Bar. Suppos- edly inspired by a boy hav- ing to make a difficult deci- sion; the choice between ice cream and candy, and only having the price for one. This inspired the salesman to combine the two, and create the Eskimo Pie. It was an im- mediate success locally, and in July 1921 he partnered with Russell C.
