About National Cherry Popsicle Day
Francis William "Frank" Epperson of San Francisco, California, popularized ice pops after patenting the concept of "frozen ice on a stick" in 1923.
Epperson claimed to have first created an ice pop in 1905, at the age of 11, when he accidentally left a glass of powdered lemonade soda and water with a mixing stick in it on his porch during a cold night, a story still printed on the back of Popsicle treat boxes.
