flavors he ordered to today, Theorigin of today of the day, and
why grape flavors specifically are unknown.Popsicles date back to nineteen o five when
eleven year old Johnny Swim saying FrankEpperson was trying to make his own soda.

He left a mixture on the porchovernight and it froze to a stirring
stick. In nineteen twenty three,Frank started selling his epsicles. No you

nineteen twenty four he applied for arignos about this patents see that's something you

(06:12):
