Explore the surprising origins of everyday items and groundbreaking breakthroughs born from chance. Learn how a disgruntled chef's thin-sliced potatoes became the iconic potato chip, how a forgotten Petri dish led to the revolutionary antibiotic penicillin, and how a melted candy bar near radar equipment sparked the invention of the microwave oven. Discover that Play-Doh started as wallpaper cleaner and saccharin was found by a chemist who forgot to wash his hands. Uncover the truth behind Post-it Notes, a "failed" super-strong glue, and understand the meaning of "serendipity," the key to many of these accidental triumphs. Want to learn more?
