🍭 #WonderingWednesday

DID YOU KNOW?! 🤔

The Popsicle was invented by an 11-year-old!

Back in 1905, Frank Epperson accidentally created this sweet summer treat in the San Francisco Bay Area. He originally named it the “Epsicle,” combining his last name with the word icicle. Years later, his children helped give it the name we all know and love today: Popsicle! 🍦

Talk about a COOL invention! 😎
