The Popsicle tale from Frank Epperson to modern treats
The account recalls Frank Epperson creating the first water ice on a stick in 1905 after a cold night left his mixture with a wooden stick. It notes patenting the Epsicle, later known as Popsicle, and its rise through the 1920s and postwar retail expansion. It highlights shifts toward supermarkets, home freezers, and evolving flavors in the frozen treat industry.
