A strange little side quest
The mechanics around Dora Room Clean have roots that stretch far beyond modern browsers. Cone-shaped wafers with cream were described in print before 1900, but the ice-cream cone became a major American fairground hit at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. And then there is this: Reader Rabbit's 1986 arrival was part of a major expansion of educational computer software before the CD-ROM boom of the 1990s. So a round of Dora Room Clean is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer food history timeline.
