Did
You Know?
The Popsicle was invented by an 11-year-old boy. In 1905, Frank Epperson left a stir stick in a mixture of powdered flavored soda and water out on the porch. That night, temperatures reached a record low. When Epperson woke the next morning, he discovered the drink had frozen to the stir stick, creating a fruit flavored “icicle”, a treat he had named the Epsicle. Eighteen years later, in 1923, Epperson introduced the treat to the public for the first time at a California amusement park. In 1924, Epperson applied for a patent for his "frozen confectionery" called the Epsicle ice pop. He renamed it the Popsicle, allegedly at the insistence of his children.
