The popsicle was found by accident when a small kid left soda with flavor on the porch with a stick for stirring in it. The mixture froze making the first popsicle. The kid, Frank Epperson, sold the same treat years later in an amusement park. He patented this stick as “Epsicle” in 1924 and then later renamed it as “popsicle”.
