History of the Creamsicle

For many ice cream lovers the world over, there’s nothing quite like the creamy, tangy taste of a creamsicle. But how did this delicious frozen treat come to be? The origins of the creamsicle can be traced back to the early 20th century when ice cream trucks were first becoming popular. Back then, a popsicle maker named Frank Epperson accidentally left a batch of soda and water outside overnight – and the mixture froze solid.

The next day, he discovered that the frozen treat was actually quite tasty, and soon began selling them as “Popsicles”. Fast forward a few years, and another seller named Harry Burt had the brilliant idea of combining Epperson’s frozen soda with vanilla ice cream. And thus, the creamsicle was born! It quickly became a hit with kids and adults alike, and has remained a beloved treat ever since.
