[Answer] Commonly used for juice today, what were drink boxes originally made for?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Commonly used for juice today, what were drink boxes originally made for?"

...The single-serving juice box was introduced to the U.S. in the 1980s and quickly became commonplace in school cafeterias throughout the country. The engineering of these tiny cartons goes back decades. In the 1940s, Dr. Ruben Rausing began looking for a more efficient and hygienic way to package milk, as the existing reusable glass bottles presented a lot of contamination issues. Rausing’s new cardboard carton, called the Tetra Brik, could be filled all the way to the top, leaving no room for air that would cause the milk to spoil. The benefits of the Swedish-made cartons made them an instant hit, and they were quickly picked up by major juice brands throughout the United States.

[Answer] The earliest snow cones featured what unlikely flavor?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "The earliest snow cones featured what unlikely flavor?"

...During the American Industrial Revolution in the late 1800s, ice became commercially available for the first time. Excited children followed ice wagons, asking for some shavings to snack on. Parents would then modify the ice with the ingredients readily available to late 19th-century families — including eggs, vanilla, and sugar — resulting in an egg custard-flavored snow cone. As this icy snack’s popularity grew, other syrups and flavors were introduced. In 1919, fruity snow cones as we know them today were commercialized by Samuel Bert at the Texas State Fair, and the frosty treat quickly became a state fair staple.
