英语词汇popsicle的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

popsicle. The popsicle might still be an “Epsicle” if Frank W. Epperson (1894–1983) hadn’t gone broke in 1929 and sold his patent for his “handled, frozen confection or ice lollipop” to a small company, which changed its name from Epsicle to Popsi- cle. Epperson had dubbed his successful product the Epsicle some 19 years after he accidentally invented it one cold San Francisco night in 1905, when as an 11-year-old he left a glass of lemonade on his porch and “awoke the next morning to find the drink frozen solid around a spoon that was in it.”
