Popsicles are a summertime treat that comes in many flavors, but grape is the favorite.
Celebrated on the 27th of May in the United States, this frozen confection dates back to at least 1923 when 11-year-old Frank Epperson started selling the frozen treat-on-a-stick at an amusement park near San Francisco. He had left a mixture of powdered soda, water, and a stirring stick outside on a cold night, and it froze, leading to the first popsicle.
Observed primarily in the U.S., Grape Popsicle Day encourage us to enjoy this classic frozen treat, especially as a refreshing snack during warmer weather. Celebrate by eating grape popsicles, making homemade versions, and sharing them with friends and family.
