What do you know about these foods? eo Delicious Ideas The Popsicle The Popsicle was invented in 1905 by an eleven-year-old California boy named Frank Epperson. The story goes that Frank, who enjoyed creating new drinks using soda powder and different flavors, mixed a drink and left the concoction outside on the porch. That night, there were record low temperatures, and the next moming, Frank found the mixture with the wooden stirring stick frozen in it. He was delighted. He called it the Epperson Icicle, He later renamed it the Epsicle. Eighteen years later, in 1923, Frank started a business producing Epsicies in seven fruit flavors. Later, Frank’s son George gave it the brand name “Popsicle,” in honor of his “pop,” or father. ‘These days, there are more than 30 different Popsicle flavors. Over two billion Popsicle products are manufactured and sold every year. Imagine, if Frank hadn't \eft his drink on the porch, we might never have tasted onel Potato Chips The potato chip was invented in 1853 by a chef named George Crum. Crum worked at a vacation resort in Saratoga Springs, New York. One day, a picky diner complained that the French fries were too thick. Crum made some more, but the customer still wasn’t satisfied. Angrily, Crum finally sliced a potato as thin as possible and fried the pieces. The customer loved this variation on the French fry and demanded more, Potato chips were invented! Crum’s chips were soon called Saratoga Chips. Soon, they were made and sold all ‘over New England. Crum later opened his own restaurant. Imagine, if the diner hadn't been so fussy and grumbled to the chef, potato chips wouldn’t have been invented! a 8 2 read the article. What do these Inventions have in common?
