Popsicle Paradise
Cool off your guests with a classic summer treat! Popsicles were invented by accident by an eleven year old in 1905. Frank Epperson left a cup of powdered soda, water with a stirring stick on his porch. The temperatures were so cold, that the next morning found a frozen Popsicle. The Popsicle was first called an Epsicle, and his friends quickly loved it. In 1923, when busy working at a lemonade stand did he think about making it a business. He then changed the name to Popsicle, after his kids kept asking for "Pop's 'sicle." He got a patent for it in 1924. The following year he sold the rights to the Joe Lowe Company. In 1928, Epperson had royalties from over 60 million Popsicle ice pop sales.
I am a fan of offering "adult only" Popsicles along with kid-friendly options that are a throw back to the ice-cream truck days.
Take home favors to remind your guests of the special treats are a perfect send off!
You can color coordinate your treats to your wedding palette or give pops of color and whimsy to your reception. The end result is a an indulgence enjoyed by your guests and a delicious way to handle the summer's heat.
