Good Humor story. In 1920, Harry Burt, a Youngstown, Ohio candy maker, created a special treat called the Jolly Boy Sucker - a lollypop on a stick. The same year, while working at his ice cream parlor, Burt created a smooth chocolate coating that was compatible with ice cream. It tasted great, but the new combination was too messy to eat. So, Burt’s son Harry Jr. suggested freezing the wooden sticks that were used for Jolly Boy Suckers into the ice cream. It worked! Burt called his creation the Good Humor Bar, capitalizing on the then widely held belief that a person’s "humor", or temperament was related to the humor of the palate (sense of taste). Convinced that he had something big on his hands, Burt filed for a patent and it took three years and a personal trip to Washington, D.C. with a five-gallon pail of Good Humor bars before Burt was finally granted exclusive rights to "ice cream on a stick".
