Each ice pop contains only 50 calories making these popsicles the perfect treat for fans of the television show. A great addition to any summer day, serve them at a party or just keep them in the freezer for an after-dinner dessert. The very first Popsicle water ice was created way back in 1905 by an 11-year-old named Frank Epperson. That’s right, Popsicle was invented by a kid! After a long day of play, Frank went inside but left a fizzy drink with a stirring stick on the veranda. The night got cold, and when Frank went outside the next morning, he found his drink frozen like an icicle. Frank called his invention the ‘Epsicle’. It was a hit with the kids at school, and later with his own kids who called it ‘Pop’s sicle’, and that’s where Popsicle came from. The name was catchy and the treat was delicious, so Frank patented it in 1923 to share his Popsicle ice pops with the world. A lot has happened since 1905, when the first Popsicle ice pop was made.
