Today is National Creamsicle Day. And Creamsicles are just such a fun, nostalgic indulgence on a hot summer day.
As are Dreamsicles.
Creamsicles are creamy, orange-flavored popsicles that have found a special place in summertime cravings. But while some love creamsicles, others prefer another creamy, orange-flavored popsicle—dreamsicles.

Though these terms have been used interchangeably since the start of the creamsicle, it turns out there is a difference, and it’s not a typo. Both have a solid sherbet exterior, but a creamsicle technically has an ice cream center while a dreamsicle has an ice milk center.

For our purposes today, Creamsicle and Dreamsicle are synonymous.

According to Popsicle, the brand’s first frozen treat was invented by mistake in 1905 when 11-year-old Frank Epperson left a cup of powdered soda and water outside overnight with a stirring stick still in it.
