===Industrial Revolution===
In the 1850s, the [[American Industrial Revolution]] made ice commercially available in the United States. [[Ice house (building)|Ice house]]s in New York would commonly sell ice to states like Florida. To transport the ice to Florida, the ice houses would send a [[wagon]] with a huge block of ice south. The route to Florida would pass right through [[Baltimore]] where children would run up to the wagon and ask for a small scraping of ice. Before long, mothers started to make flavoring in anticipation of their children receiving some ice. The first flavor the women made is still a Baltimore favorite: egg custard. Egg custard was an easy flavor to make as the only ingredients were eggs, vanilla, and sugar.<ref>Gienow, Michelle. “[http://www2.citypaper.com/bob/story.asp?id=8153 Cold Comfort: On the Cultural Significance of the Snowball in Baltimore] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120829195655/http://www2.citypaper.com/bob/story.asp?id=8153 |date=2012-08-29 }}” City Paper.
