1905
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popsicle#History
NOTE: 1905, 11 year old Frank Epperson left a mixture of powdered soda and water out on his 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, which he named the epsicle. He then waited 18 years before releasing it to the public.
