How Kyl21 Started
Kyl21 was created in 2014 by a product designer named David Marx. He started the company, Molekyleis Produktionsgesellschaft mbH, in Berlin, Germany. David wanted to make popsicles in a completely new and exciting way.
Special Freezing Method
David Marx developed his own special way to freeze the popsicles. He uses something called liquid nitrogen, which is extremely cold! This super-fast freezing helps the popsicles keep their cool geometric shapes. They are frozen at temperatures around -200 degrees Celsius (-328 degrees Fahrenheit).
From the Science Kitchen
The idea for these popsicles came from the Science Kitchen. This was a special food lab in Berlin that focused on molecular gastronomy. Molecular gastronomy is a way of cooking that uses science to create new and interesting foods. The Science Kitchen worked on inventing and developing food products that are good for the planet and friendly to vegans.
Kyl21 popsicles are also made in other parts of the world. In Los Angeles, USA, they are known as DreamPops, and in China, they are called BOOM.
What Does Kyl21 Mean?
The name "Kyl21" is a mix of two ideas. "Kyl" comes from the Norwegian word "molekyl," which means molecule. The "21" was originally meant to represent the age of the people David Marx first thought would enjoy his popsicles. The word "Kyl" is pronounced like "kühl" in German, which means "cool"!
Company Challenges
To help the company grow, Kyl21 tried to raise money from many different people through something called crowdinvesting. This is when a lot of people each invest a small amount of money. Even though they raised a lot of support, the company faced challenges in Germany. The original company website is no longer active.
