  Pet Pitbull - Positive Press
In fact, it was a puppy, a pit bull who would be known as Popsicle and -- in a lovely ironic twist-- would gain fame for sniffing out the kind of bad guy that nearly killed him.
One year ago, Popsicle helped the feds seize 3,075 pounds of cocaine from a pineapple-laden truck at the Mexican border-the biggest drug bust ever at the Hidalgo, Texas, port of entry.
Popsicle did, and in February 1998 he graduated at the top of his class and became a celebrated alumnus two months later by detecting the record contraband cache under a tractor-trailer.

 Popsicle Guitar Tabs and Chords
Popsicle is a trademarked name for a frozen treat on a stick.
The first recorded Popsicle was created in 1905 by 11-year-old Frank Epperson, who had left a glass of soda water powder and water, which was a popular drink in those days, on a windowsill outside with a glass mixing stick in it.
When little Frank returned to the drink the next morning, he found that the soda water had frozen inside the glass, and that by running it under hot water, he was able to remove (and eat) the frozen soda water chunk using the stir stick as a handle.

Commercially made Popsicles are frozen very fast, which keeps the ice crystals small, and the flavor and the color well-mixed.
On the other hand, if you freeze a Popsicle very quickly (the pros use a brine bath set to minus 40 degrees Celsius), the water droplets freeze more or less simultaneously, which means they freeze in their tracks, leaving the flavor and sugar molecules evenly dispersed throughout.
Suppose a homemade and a factory-made Popsicle were left in room temperature for 20 minutes, and each melted about halfway.
