| The Kid Who invented the
Popsicle has different stories of how various things were invented. Some of them were
invented by complete accident! For example, the popsicle was "invented" by an
eleven year old boy named Frank Epperson who mixed soda pop mix and water and accidentally
left it outside on a cold night. Next morning, he found it with the stirring stick
straight up. Some stories are funny, some are weird, but all are true! Like, did you know
that the Baby Ruth candy bar was named after Grover Cleveland’s daughter Ruth?
