Abraham Lincoln never had an ice cream sundae. Neither, for that matter, did Dolley Madison.

Ice cream sundaes did not exist until the 1890s.

This *is so* a fascinating fact related to *The Secrets of Mary Bowser,* on account of Mary not being able to go out for an ice cream sundae that did not yet exist.

Ha ha, get it? "Fudge"!
