Saturday September 2ndOn September 2nd, National Blueberry Popsicle Day will be held, as well as National Blueberry Popsicle Month. It's a refreshing way to cool down, being scheduled in the middle of the summer dog days. Buy a box of blueberry-flavored Popsicles or make your own. Either way, the dish will be a delectable one! With the end of summer approaching, now is the time to commemorate this National Day..

In 1905, Frank Epperson, an 11-year-old Frank Epperson, was outside on his porch, mixing water with a white powdered flavoring to make soda. Upon entering, he left it on the porch with the stirring stick still attached. Frank discovered the drink had frozen to the stick that night at a record low that night and the following morning.
Epperson's treat at a fireman's ball, 1922, was a huge success. In 1923, he created and sold his frozen treat-on-a-stick at an amusement park in Alameda, California. Epperson applied for a patent in 1924 for his frozen confectionery, which he described as "Epsicle" ice pop. "Popsicle" was then renamed by the owner, who later renamed it "Popsicle."
