The Birth of a Better Ice Cream Experience

In 1997, Robert Sotile noticed a gap in the food and drink industry that led to the invention of The Buddy System. Witnessing firsthand the unsanitary handling of ice cream cones, Sotile saw an opportunity to enhance food safety and presentation, creating a revolutionary product.

From Messy Cones to Happy Hands

A simple trip to the ice cream parlor sparked an idea to revolutionize how we enjoy this beloved treat. Our innovative ice cream cone sleeves are designed to address messy hands and potential contamination concerns.
