The frozen dessert has been in existence for many years. It was originally invented by [URL='http://www.mahalo.com/frank-epperson']Frank Epperson[/URL] who discovered the possibility of a frozen treat on a stick in 1905 at age 11. Epperson left his drink in the freezer with a stirrer in it creating what he called the Epsicle. The Epsicle eventually was renamed as the [URL='http://www.mahalo.com/popsicle']Popsicle[/URL] and Epperson eventually created the creamsicle and dreamsicle.
