Foods are Invented by Accidents

Most discoveries take years to come to fruition.

But every now and then people succeed with some luck.

Here are six meals that were gifted to the world, thanks for all the divine intervention.

1. Popsicles -

An 11-year-old boy in California is credited with discovering this icy treat - so rendering the rest of us to question his own adequacy as a pre-teen.

In a gloomy evening in 1905, a young Frank Apperson accidentally left a mixture of powdered soda water with a straw stick on his porch, according to the agency Popsicle.

The next morning, he woke up to an ice wonder. About 17 years later, Epperson promoted the poppies of the surrounding snow, which immediately proved to be a hit, soon expanding the cool creation in an amusement park near him, which received a similar reception.

The following year, Epson - who was then an adult - filed a patent for the pop. He later sold his patent to Joe Pete Cote when he was in a severe financial crisis পরে a decision he regretted, NPR reported.

Due to the opportunity created by an 11-year-old boy, Popsicles remains a fresh American classic today, boasting 26 flavors, the company said.

2. Ice Cream Cone -

This lavish goodie has put the food industry in a constant state of disrepair.

Although an Italian immigrant named Italo Marcinii was credited with independently inventing the first ice cream cone, according to the International Dairy Foods Association, the sweet treat did not gain widespread appeal before the 1904 County Fair.

At the St. Louis World's Fair, a vendor selling ice cream so popular, the merchant ran out of food to serve the ice cream.

Ernest Hamwi, a Syrian discounter, was serving waffle-like pastries at the adjoining booth.

According to the IDFA, this quick-witted man turned his algae into a cone and let it cool for a few minutes.

He gave his novelty to the ice cream vendor, who was fascinated by this person's on-the-fly creation and began serving ice cream outside the cones.

The crispy-crunchy dessert proved to be an instant success and has become a staple in ice cream stores across the country.

3. Potato Chips -

This salty snack was invented in 1853 by a man named George Krum.

Krum was a chef at Durant Moon Lake Lodge Resort in Saratoga Springs, New York.

The French fry restaurant was a popular attraction, but one customer with a chip on the shoulder complained that the Snack Food Association reported that the fries were too dense.

When the order made a thin batch, the excited diner again protested about the width and texture of the fry.

According to the SFA, in the third attempt, Krum deliberately made fries that were too paper-thin and crispy to eat with a fork, according to the SFA.

The customer was surprisingly happy to get the result and Krum realized that he had a hot product in his hand.

Ordering in restaurants around the East Coast and finally entering grocery stores by 1895, the order, according to the SFA, called his crispy guilty pleasure "Saratoga chips."

4. Coca-Cola -

One day a can of coke might not keep the doctor away, but this Fiji drink was first discovered by pharmacists as a stimulant, nerve tonic and headache remedy, the agency said.

In 1886, John Pemberton discovered "Pemberton's French Wine Coca", an alcoholic remedy designed to eliminate the laundry list of diseases.

But when the ban law was passed in Pemberton's native Georgia, the discoverer made a non-alcoholic variation on his caramel-hood syrup.

It is rumored that Pemberton unknowingly added carbonated water to the drink, but in fact, the pharmacist intended to serve it as a carbonated concoction because he believed the bubbles would be believed to be a flavored alternative to alcohol, according to the agency.

What was not intentional was the motive behind the mixture, which was originally invented as a drug, and is now sold as a soda fountain drink.

Shortly after the pharmacist's death, a man named Gregg Candler took Asa to where Pemberton had left and become the owner of Coca-Cola, according to the company.

The shrewd businessman rallied an aggressive advertising campaign, which eventually spread across the country and provoked high consumer interest.

Griggs began bottling the drink to meet the needs of the thirsty population and to this day, Coca-Cola remains one of the most popular and best-selling soft drinks in history.

5. Corn Flakes -

W.K. Kellogg and his brother Dr. John Harvey Kellogg went cuckoo for corn flakes.

In 1898, W.K. Kellogg and his brother Dr. John Harvey Kellogg's were now considered granola treat for patients in sanitariums as part of a vegetarian diet.

The pair accidentally left the gumberry cooking in the kitchen, causing the kernels to flake, according to the company's Kellogg.

They continue to experiment with cooking different grains until they occur on top of the corn, which is tied up to the cranky, shredded flakes.

W.K. Kellogg's is the "Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company", Kellogg's predecessor, making cereal boxes and starting selling breakfast foods as a healthier alternative to breakfast, the company said.

6. Worcestershire Sauce -

The source of this sensitive source was a complete fluke.

In 1835, an aristocrat from Worcester, England, brought back a sauce recipe from India, Bengal, and, according to Heinz, asked John Wheelie Lee and William Perrins of a pharmacy in Worcester to make it again.

The hardworking pair made a mixture of onion, garlic, vinegar, and tamarind among other ingredients, and tasted great.

The pair shook the mix and kept it in their store for years, completely forgetting about it.

A year later, while the men were cleaning up their store, they rediscovered the sauce pots and decided to taste the mixture again before disposing of the mixture, according to Heinz.

To their surprise, a tart and delicious sauce was found in the aging process, which they began producing and selling under the names Leah and Perrin.
