Everyone's favorite childhood summertime frozen treat was created by accident in Kansas City Missouri in the late 1950s, by shop owner Omar Knedlik whose soda fountain kept breaking down. In order to keep his sodas chilled, he put them in the freezer so when he served them they were frozen and slushy. Customers loved it, coming back to specially request "those pops that were in a little bit longer."
