Turns out it was the frozen mistake that made a fortune. Can you believe it?
The very first Popsicle ice pop was created way back in 1905 by an 11-year-old named Frank Epperson. He was outside mixing water and a flavor pouch to make soda. He accidentally left it outside over night and it froze.
However, it wasn’t until 20 yrs later with the Joe Lowe Co. that the idea came to fruition. His flavored ices were originally called the “Epsicle”, renamed the Popsicle.
