Good Humor
Maybe your parents are better acquainted with Good Humor ice cream. This business is another century-old business that is a nostalgic hero thanks to its famous ice cream trucks. During the 20s, the Ohio ice cream empire began and kept growing in power. Thomas J. Lipton became very taken with the business in 1961 and went forward with its purchase. Despite the fact that the American wing of the British-Dutch business is controlled by Lipton, Good Humor has developed marvelously since. You won’t believe how diverse the former ice-cream-focused company has become, with an equally varied consumer group.

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.
