When Frank Epperson invented the first Popsicle back in 1905, he inspired the invention. He left the drink overnight with the stirring stick in it after making up a powdered soda. Temperatures dropped unusually low that night and the next morning, and Epperson discovered the liquid frozen on the stick. He referred to the Epsicle's appearance.
He didn't introduce his frosty treat until years later, 1922 during a fireman's ball.. Epperson proceeded to make and sell his frozen delight at an amusement park in Alameda, California, following the Popsicle's huge success. Also by 1924, Epperson applied for a patent by that name. He changed the name to Popsicle some time later.
Popsicle is the name brand of a frozen juice concoction on a stick. However, it's so common that many people use the term for all frozen juice pops. Kleenex, Crock-Pot, and Chapstick are among the many household names that have made household words such as Kleenex, Crock-Pot, and Chapstick. But hundreds of thousands of people exist! Buttons exist! This phenomenon is called an eponym. The word for this condition is eponym.
