In 1905 the Popsicle was invented by an eleven year old boy named Frank Epperson. He invented the Popsicle by leaving his soda outside on a cold night and then next morning it was an ice block and that is where FrankEpperson got the idea of making ice blocks.
Epperson was born in 1894 and died in1983 at the age of 89. He was educated at the Indiana University.Frank Epperson, who accidentally invented the Popsicle at age 11, later worked in California as a powdered lemonade vendor before eventually patenting and selling the rights to his creation to Popsicle Industries. One individual told him about a six-inch glass test tube that he used as a mold. He then invented a machine to make the frozen treat and also stamped his name on the wooden stick. Later, George, Frank's son (he was a father of five children) , renamed the treat - Popsicle, in honor and with permission of his dad.
Frank Epperson’s invention is important even today. Ice blocks are important because they can help you on a very sunny day and they can help you by making you cold.
