History
In 1928, the Parker Brothers – Bruce, I.C., and J.T. – added to the invention of the waffle cone by adding a chocolate coating with nuts to it. One of the brothers' wives said that this invention looked like a chicken leg, commonly nicknamed a drumstick in the US.
Nestlé purchased the Drumstick Company in 1991.[1] In 2016, Nestlé and PAI Partners established Froneri, a joint venture to combine the two companies' ice cream activities.[1]
In 2019, a cereal from General Mills based on Drumsticks was released with two flavors, vanilla and mint chocolate.[5]
Flavors
Additional varieties of Drumstick include caramel and fudge-filled cones, Mint Chocolate Crunch, Cookies and Cream Crunch, and simply dipped, cones filled with caramel, chocolate, and plain vanilla are also found. In Canada, Nestlé offers a chocolate dipped Oreo Drumstick[6] as well as Strawberry Cheesecake Drumstick.[7]
According to the official website, the following Drumstick flavors are produced:[8]
- Classic
- Simply Dipped
- Pretzel Dipped
- Crunch Dipped
- Cookie Dipped
- Mini Drums
- Lil’ Drums
- Sprinkled!
- Super Nugget
- King Size
Non-dairy additions
In early 2020, Nestlé released two vegan varieties of the dessert in Canada.[9]
- Caramel
- Vanilla Chocolate Swirl
On April 16, 2021, Nestlé Canada recalled both flavours over concerns that the products may contain dairy not included on the ingredients label.[10]
