History – A cold snap sparks a great invention!
The Popsicle ice pop was accidentally invented in 1905 by 11-year-old Frank Epperson. Epperson left a mixture of powdered soda and water and a stirring stick in a cup on his porch. That night San Francisco experienced record low temperatures and Epperson awoke the next morning to find a frozen pop that would eventually become a favorite American treat.
Epperson originally named his creation "Epsicle" and it quickly became popular with his school friends. It wasn’t until 1923, however, while running a lemonade stand at an amusement park in Oakland, California that he realized the commercial possibilities of his invention.
