If it's Popsicle, it's possible
When it's hot and humid, nothing beats in price, value or lack of calories, a good old fashioned Popsicle®.
An eleven year old boy, Frank Epperson, accidentally made the first popsicle® when he mixed some water and flavoring powder for soda water, a popular drink those days, and left the mixture out on his back porch with the mixing stick still in it.
Next morning, Voila!. A stick of frozen soda water that Frank took to school to show his friends. That was 1905.
Eighteen years later in 1923, he remembered what happened and began a business. In 1924 he got his patent and by 1928, he had earned royalties on more than 60 million Popsicles®
The Man of Popsicle - If it's Popsicle, it's possible.
It's the 100th Anniversary of the invention of the Popsicle® and no one's doing anything about it. For shame.
