To Put It Into Context-Popsicle Day-July 10th

As we celebrate Popsicle day this Friday, think about the origin of the treat.  Here is the short story regarding the invention of this treat:

In 1905, eleven-year-old Frank Epperson left a cup filled with powdered soda, water, and a stirring stick on his San Francisco porch. That night, low temperatures caused the mixture to freeze — and a summertime staple was born. Today, two billion Popsicles are sold every year.
