2. In 1905 in San Francisco, a boy
named Frank Epperson invented
ice lollies

3. Epperson had left a fruit
drink out overnight, with
a stirrer in it, and it froze,
making a new treat.
His frozen treat was
originally called the
Epsicle. Epperson got a
patent on his "frozen ice
on a stick" many years
later, in 1923.
The Epsicle was later
renamed as popsicle.

6. Invented Ice Cream!
Nero, Emperor of Rome: 37 - 68
AD

7. Emperor Nero Claudius Caesar of Rome was said to have
sent people up to the mountains to collect snow and ice
which would then be flavoured with juice and fruit-kind of
like a first century snow cone.
These early “ice creams” were obviously a luxury indulged
in by the rich, as not everyone had the ability to send
servants up the mountains to collect snow for them.

8. Hot dogs

9. Anton Feuchtwanger, a German immigrant selling
sausages in the streets of New York put his
sausages in buns to make the sausage easier to
carry! It was immediate success!

10. Dr. John Stith Pemberton (1830-1888)
was an American pharmacist, soldier,
and inventor. He invented Coca-Cola
on May 8th, 1886 in Atlanta, Georgia,
USA. He had invented many syrups,
medicines, and elixirs before,
including a very popular drink called
French Wine of Coca, which contained
French Bordeaux wine, coca leaves,
and caffeine (from the kola nut). When
Atlanta banned alcohol consumption
in 1885, Pemberton had to change the
formula of his French Wine of Coca,
omitting the French wine. He added
sugar, citric acid and essential oils of
many fruits to the drink, and the
original Coca-Cola was created. It was
named for its main ingredients, coca
leaves and the kola nut. Coca-Cola
quickly became a very popular soda
fountain drink.
Pemberton became partners with
Frank Robinson and David Roe, but
the partners soon began to quarrel and
Pemberton soon sold his interest in
Coca-Cola. The formula for Coca-Cola
is a closely-guarded secret.

11. Who invented potato
chips?

12. POTATO CHIPS
The potato chip was invented in
1853 by George Crum. Crum
was a Native American/African
American chef at the Moon
Lake Lodge resort in Saratoga
Springs, New York, USA.
French fries were popular at
the restaurant and one day a
diner complained that the fries
were too thick. Although Crum
made a thinner batch, the
customer was still unsatisfied.
Crum finally made fries that
were too thin to eat with a fork,
hoping to annoy the extremely
fussy customer. The customer,
surprisingly enough, was happy
- and potato chips were
invented!
