Popsicle
This is one incredible tale. At just 11 years old, Californian Francis Epperson created the world-famous Popsicle when he forgot his cup of juice outside on a severely cold night. After finding his drink turned to ice, he knew that this would become a huge hit in time. As he grew older, Epperson brought this refreshing treat to humanity. Everyone loved it, and in 1925, the young man sold the whole operation to Joe Lowe. This was a massive mistake, of course, and Epperson commented that “I haven’t been the same since.” Popsicle would then later be taken over by its competitor Good Humor in 1989 during its status as a Unilever subsidiary. Basically, Popsicle would eventually become internalized by the previously mentioned English-Dutch business too.
