The majority of the Mesoamerican peoples made chocolate beverages, including the Maya and Aztecs. Chocolate has been used as a drink for nearly all of its history.

When new machines were produced, people began experiencing and consuming chocolate worldwide.

The Popsicle

The Popsicle was invented by an 11 year who kept it secret for 18 years.

The inventor was Frank Epperson who, in 1905, left a mixture of powdered soda and water out on the porch, which contained a stir stick. That night, temperatures in San Francisco reached record low temperature. When he woke the next morning, he discovered that it had frozen to the stir stick, creating a fruit flavored ice treat that he named the epsicle. 18 years later he patented it and called it the Popsicle.
