Penny lick

The customer would lick clean the glass and return it to the vendor, who would reuse it.

[2] The penny lick was banned in London in 1898 due to concerns about the spread of disease, particularly cholera and tuberculosis, as the glass was often not washed between customers.

[3] Questions of hygiene led Italo Marchioni to introduce a pastry cup in New York City in 1896,[4] which he patented in 1903.

The waffle ice cream cone rapidly became popular soon afterwards, displacing the penny lick.
