===Great Depression and World War II=== Snow cones became available outside of Baltimore during the [[Great Depression]] and the [[World War II|Second World War]] because they were exceptionally affordable. Their low cost earned them several nicknames including the ''Hard Times Sundae'' and the ''Penny Sunday''. The low cost of producing and selling snow cones created many straightforward opportunities for work. After ice cream became unavailable at the [[Home front during World War II|home front]], snow cones arose as a nationally popular alternative in America.<ref>Arnett, Earl โTracing the Origin, Spread of Snowballs.โ Baltimore Sun. 3 Aug. 1977, B1.</ref>
