The ice pops

[caption id="attachment_6165" align="aligncenter" width="321"] Popsicles[/caption] The ice pop or lolly was invented by enterprising an 11-year-old called Frank Epperson in 1905, who left a glass of soda on his San Francisco front porch with a stirring stick still it. The next day, after a cold night, the drink had frozen. Frank pulled the stick and, to his surprise, the drink came with it. Nine years later, he patented the lollies as "Popsicles".
