The Ice Cream Cone is a novelty balloon from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
History with the Macy's Parade[]
The Ice Cream Cone novelty balloon made its debut in the 1985 Parade, more than forty years after the last Ice Cream Cone balloon flew. The balloon was one of the first-ever novelty balloons created for the Parade, alongside the ornament balloons. The over-sized sweet treat lead that year's Parade alongside the even sweeter Lollipop balloons. This version of the Ice Cream Cone would appear one more time in 1986 before retiring. By February of 1989, the second version of the Ice Cream Cone was disposed of.
