Popsicles were invented by a mistake. In 1905, an eleven year old boy named Frank Epperson was trying to makea drink. He mixed soda pop powder with water. Frank placed the drink on the back porch overnight. The drink froze with the stir stick still in the glass. The following morning, Frank pulled the frozen drink out of the glass and licked it . It was an instant hit with Frank. He sold them in his neighbourhood for five cents. Frank later re-named his invention popsicle; pop and icicle together. Cleverly cool.
