who invented the frozen popsicles and in what year
Ice pop Frank Epperson of Oakland or San Francisco, California, (it is debated where) popularized ice pops after patenting the concept of "frozen ice on a stick" in 1923.[5][6] He initially called it the Epsicle.[7] A couple of years later, Epperson sold the rights to the invention and the Popsicle brand to the Joe Lowe Company in New York City.[5]
Candy corn "Chicken Feed" was the original name of the candy with production starting in the 1880s.[4] Wunderlee Candy Company was the first to produce the candy.[5] Following the 19th century, the Goelitz Confectionary Company (now called Jelly Belly) manufactured the product. Along with other agriculture-inspired treats at the time, the late 19th century, Americas' confectioners sought to market candy corn to a largely rural society.[6]
