Please help us build a Mello Roll

We want to know what a Mello Roll experience looked like and felt like. Please submit photos, drawing, memories and whatever.

Mello rolls (also sometimes spelled “mello-rolls” or “mell-o-rolls,” perhaps like “jell-o”) were ice cream treats, somewhat like ice cream cones. They were popular in the Bronx and in Brooklyn; many people remember them served at Jones Beach in the 1940s and 1950s.
