Creamsicle History

The creamsicle was first invented in the early 1930s by ice cream truck driver, Frank Epperson. He accidentally left a stick in his cup of sugary soda and when he returned, he found that the drink had frozen around the stick. Epperson then had the brilliant idea to add ice cream to the mix and the creamsicle was born.

The creamsicle quickly became a popular treat and in 1955, the Popsicle company began mass-producing them. Today, there are many different variations of the creamsicle including those made with yogurt, sherbet, and even ice cream sandwiches.
