National Grape Popsicle Day 2022
 |
I don't pursue them as I did when younger but still they make for an enjoyable taste treat and are great on hot days.
I remember being given them on occasion in my childhood and these made for quite the memorable experience.
Today is National Grape Popsicle Day.
This day is celebrated to remind of those times when the first popsicle was prepared.
The first popsicle was made in 1905 in California by accident.
In San Franciso, an 11-year-old boy named Frank Epperson was once standing on his porch while combining water and white powdered flavoring seeking to prepare soda.
He left it outside on his porch with a stick within the concoction.
It froze when cold weather set in and voila the first popsicle.
In the year 1922 Mr Epperson introduced the summer treat at a fireman's ball event and his treat turned to be a massive success.
It is known that in the year 1923, he manufactured and sold this treat at a park in California.
Epperson applied for a patent for his treat-on-a-stick in the year 1924 which he back then called it as Epsicle ice pop and later renamed the frozen treat as Popsicle.
