Frank Epperson, an 11-year-old Frank Epperson, influenced the invention when he invented the first Popsicle back in 1905. He left the beverage overnight with the stirring stick in it after making up a powdered soda. Temperatures dropped unusually low that night and the next morning, and Epperson discovered the liquid frozen on the stick. He dubbed the Epsicle's creation the Epsicle.
It wasn't until years later, during a fireman's ball in 1922, that he introduced his frosty treat. Epperson continued to make and sell his frozen delight at an amusement park in Alameda, California, following the Popsicle's huge success. Epperson had applied for a patent by 1924, and by that time, too. Popsicle was changed to Popsicle some time later.
Popsicle is the name brand of a frozen juice concoction on a stick by the name brand. However, it's so common that many people use the term for all frozen juice pops. Kleenex, Crock-Pot, and Chapstick are among the many household names that have made household words such as Kleenex, Crock-Pot, and Chapstick. However, hundreds of thousands of people exist! An eponym is used to describe this condition.
