An ice cream sandwich is a type of ice cream novelty sold and eaten in many countries. An ice cream sandwich consists of ice cream of varying flavors sandwiched between two pieces of a bread-like substance, such as bread, wafers, cookies, etc. Sold in grocery stores, ice cream parlors, and by street vendors, ice cream sandwiches have been utilized for their convenience. The agent acting as bread serves as an edible container for the ice cream -- similar to a cone. Ice cream sandwiches are typically referred to as an ice cream sandwich, although other names also exist, such as hokey pokey, or cream-between.
