Frank Epperson, an 11-year-old Frank Epperson, inspired the invention when he invented the first Popsicle back in 1905. After making up a powdered soda, he left the beverage overnight with the stirring stick in it. The liquid was frozen on the stick, which was unusually low that night and the next morning. He dubbed the invention Epsicle, according to He.
He didn't introduce his frosty treat until years later, 1922 during a fireman's ball. Epperson continued to make and sell his frozen delight at an amusement park in Alameda, California, despite the Popsicle's huge success. Epperson applied for a patent by 1924, as well as other Eppersons. He changed the name to Popsicle some time later.
Popsicle is the brand of a frozen juice concoction on a stick, according to the name brand. However, because it's so common, many people use the term for all frozen juice pops. Kleenex, Crock-Pot, and Chapstick are among the many name brand products that have made household terms household names, including Kleenex, Crock-Pot, and Chapstick. But hundreds of thousands of people exist! An eponym is used to describe this phenomenon.
