Who invented the Popsicle?

The Popsicle was invented by an eleven-year-old boy named Frank Epperson in 1905. The story goes: Frank left his fruit flavored soda outside on the porch with a stir stick inside. The soda has frozen to the stick. Frank Epperson patented this "frozen ice on a stick" in 1923 and called it the Epsicle ice pop. In 1925, Frank Epperson sold his famous Epsicle to the Joe Lowe Company of New York. His children later renamed it, the Popsicle.

Good Humor now owns the rights to the Popsicle.
