Popsicles are also commonly referred to as ice pop, frozen pop, ice lolly, and ice block. Due to its immense popularity, Popsicle has become a generic term in the United States. The term Popsicle has been used interchangeably with the frozen delicacy since the 1920s.
Frank Epperson, an eleven-year-old boy, was the inventor of popsicles. On a cold night in the winter of 1905, he accidentally left a fruit drink with a stirring stick on his veranda. By morning, the ice pop had been created. 18 years later, the name ‘epsicle’ was altered to ‘popsicle’ to honour Frank’s invention. By forming a partnership with the Joe Lowe company in New York, Frank began distributing these frozen treats across the nation. The greatest mishap ever? We believe so!
Since then, popsicles have been a popular summertime treat for combating the humidity. In 1989, following the acquisition of the company by Unilever, the Popsicle brand was established with a variety of tropical flavours. Even though cherry popsicles are the most popular, we are currently on the blueberry team.
