Popsicles are a delicacy born out of the accident of forgetfulness.

Many things are born because of small mistakes, and the same is true for food.

It’s because of beautiful mistakes like this that delicious food is made.

You may have eaten ice hockey before. In the hot summer, you can cool off with just one bite.

In fact, the reason popsicles exist is because of a small misstep.

Frank Epperson was just an 11-year-old boy when he invented popsicles.

In 1905, people mixed the prepared powdered ingredients and water together to prepare a drink.

On that cold winter night, Epperson accidentally left his drink on the hallway outside.

Early the next morning, Epperson discovered that the drink had frozen solid with the stirrer standing upright in it.

He tried licking it and found that it tasted wonderful!

A brief history of the development of ice cream. In the time of Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty (about 700 years ago), there was a food similar to ice cream called ice cream in the palace.

At that time, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty prohibited people outside the royal family from making ice cheese.

It wasn't until the Italian traveler Marco Polo left China to return to China that Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty had someone teach him how to make this treasure.

After Marco Polo returned, he passed this production method to the Italian royal family. The Italian royal family kept this method secret for about 300 years. In 1533, after the French king married an Italian, the method of making ice cream became popular.

Introduced to France from Italy.

Ice cream advertisements appeared on the streets of New York in the United States in 1777.

Until the Qing Dynasty, whenever midsummer arrived, people on the streets of Beijing would buy natural ice cubes and ice cores that had been stored in cellars during the winter.
