This old Victorian so-called Penny Lick glass was used for ice cream at the end of 1800. The customer paid a penny for a scoop of ice cream that was scooped into the glass. Then one could lick the ice cream from the glass. The thick glass made it look like there was a lot of ice cream in the glass. When the ice cream was finished, the glass was returned to the ice cream man and the glass was filled again without cleaning it for the next customer. After more became known about contagious diseases and hygiene, this way of selling ice cream was no longer used. The thick glass made it look like you were getting a big scoop of ice cream.
