*Is this the revenge of Willy Wonka? A publicity-stunt tie-in?
The 25-foot-tall, 17 1/2-ton treat of frozen Snapple juice melted faster than expected Tuesday, flooding Union Square in downtown Manhattan with kiwi-strawberry-flavored fluid that sent pedestrians scurrying for higher ground.

*...of that humble yet delectable treat, the Popsicle.
Frank Epperson invented the popsicle at age 11. He applied for a patent at age 29. Originally he named it an "Epsicle." His kids changed the name to "Popsicle." That'd make sense, if in honor of their "Pop."
I like just the regular fruit-flavored type. Lime and orange are my favorite flavors.
