The Cold History of Popsicles

In the past, our favorite ice pops have outpaced other sweets and desserts in the race for America’s best nostalgic dessert.  During that time what we know popsicles are called artisan popsicles.  Unlike cupcakes and other portioned sweet condiments, popsicles have never been controlled over the consumption of the American people.  No wonder why Popsicle has evolved over time, and how this succumb trends in food preparations.

Ironically, contemporary popsicles are merely versions of treat invented by Frank Epperson in 1905.  Popsicle today still follows the same process of mixing ingredients and freezing till it become frozen pop.  Significantly, according to some, cherry has become the first flavor for ice pop as this was determined through the patented sketch in 1923.

As years gone by, popsicles popped up in the limelight with new colors and flavors.  Popsicles reached massive boot as it became America’s most favored condiment that era.  Other than historical attributes,   fancy popsicles today are just frozen water with artificial flavors in the past.  The popsicles we enjoyed today underwent innovation as other all desserts made their upgrade in taste too.

As a results, popsicles have beaten its ordinary taste as chocolate, tangerine and avocado flavors have been introduced in the market.  This twist in popsicles grew its marketability and thus leads to few more flavors such as orange, grape and cherry which became a well-liked flavor in the market.

Within the years, Popsicle maker arises which began the first market for ice pops in America.   The first companies are Kold Kake of New Jersey, Good Humor of Ohio, M-B Ise Kream of Texas.   Good humor and Popsicle (which are now under Unilever) agreed on a wary truce in which popsicles should be made of frozen desserts from water, and Good Humor shall then have the ice cream market.  But since, the market wants diversity in the development of ice milk, product named Fudgesicle arise as a product made of chocolate and butterscotch.

There are also other significant events in the history of popsicles, we have the two stick Popsicles during the era of depression.   For reason of affordability, Popsicle maker have to find an alternative way to sell Popsicle to the consumers who that time has no money to spend for popsicles.  The thought of two stick popsicles is for sharing, where you can share the other stick with your sibling, friend or mate which is more economical than the single Popsicle.
