Happy National Creamsicle Day! In 1905 the Popsicle was “invented” when 11-year-old Frank Epperson left his drink outside all night with a stick in it. I can’t imagine he was the first person to do so and find his drink had frozen overnight, but apparently he was one of the first to think he could sell the hell out of it.

It’s unclear when that led to encasing ice cream in a Popsicle shell, but it’s hard to argue with the results.
