In 1905, an 11-year-old’s forgotten drink froze around a stick and became the Popsicle

An accidental discovery by 11-year-old Frank Epperson in 1905 led to the invention of the Popsicle. He left a sweetened drink with a wooden stick on his porch overnight, and it froze. Epperson later patented his "frozen lolly pop," revolutionizing how frozen treats were consumed with its portable and mess-free design.
