Frank Epperson invented the Popsicles, ice-blocks in 1905, thanks to Epperson’s invention we can now have a tasty treat to cool us down.
Frank Epperson was born in 1894 and raised in San Fransisco, he died in 1983.When he was 11 years of age he accidentally made the ice blocks when he left his soda on the porch overnight. When he was about 29 years of age he applied for a patent for his frozen ice on stick. He sold his first ice blocks to the company Joe Lowe in New York.
Frank finally introduced his creation at the Alameda Amusement park in 1923.
Frank Epperson's invention now has lots of different flavours and are different shapes and colours. Ice blocks also cool us down on hot sunny days and is enjoyed by children all around the world. You could even make them yourself. My favorite flavour is strawberry.
