Ironically, the very first Popsicles may have had more in common with the contemporary versions of the treat than we might think.
According to the official Popsicle website, Popsicles were the accidental invention of an 11-year-old boy named Frank Epperson, who, in 1905, “left a mixture of powdered soda, water, and a stirring stick in a cup on his porch. It was a cold night, and Epperson awoke the next morning to find a frozen pop.” | Collectors Weekly
