Earlier, we talked about some cool inventions created by kids, but there's one that's arguably cooler than most -- the ice pop.
This delicious dessert was invented by an 11-year-old kid.
And the best part?
It was totally by accident.
One freezing night in 1905, Frank Epperson forgot his drink outside.
The next morning, Frank discovered his happy mistake.
His drink was hard as ice, and after taking one lick, he knew he was on to something yummy.
Frank shared his newfound concoction with friends at school, and they loved it just as much as he did.
Eventually, when Frank got older, he sold his ice pops at a local amusement park, and the rest was history.
Hmm.
Now I'm kind of craving an ice pop.
But not just any ice pop.
A "Camp TV" multi-layered ice pop.
Let's make one.
You will need some small paper cups, wooden craft sticks, and three different kinds of drinks for three different colored stripes.
I'm using cranberry juice, orange juice, and grape juice, but you can feel free to use any kinds of drinks you like.
And to keep track of my steps, I've made a checklist.
To start, let's divide the cup into roughly three different sections.
That way we'll know how much juice to use for the first layer.
Now we're going to pour our first drink about 1/3 of the way up, leaving about 2/3 of room on top.
Put it in the freezer for at least 30 minutes until the layer has started to freeze but isn't quite solid.
This is going to be delicious.
Remove your cup from the freezer and insert a wooden craft stick.
Then return your cup to the freezer until the layer is solid.
Won't be long now.
Next, add the next layer of liquid on top, leaving 1/3 layer on top.
Then you put it back in the freezer until it's frozen solid.
How long will depend on the thickness of the layer.
I can't wait.
[ Chuckles ] Once the second layer is frozen, add your last third to the top.
♪♪ [ Gasps ] It's time.
Peel away the paper and... [ Gasps ] Mmm!
Yum!
[ Chuckles ]
