Popsicle
Popsicle’s recipe was first created by 11 year old Francis Epperson from Oakland, California. He released it as a product when he was an adult, and it became a huge hit. In 1925, he sold the rights to Popsicle to the Joe Lowe company, which he later regretted, saying: “I haven’t been the same since.” In 1989, Good Humor bought out Popsicle and it joined Good Humor’s parent company Unilever.
