Great Products Invented by Accident
Most people make mistakes every day. We drop things, take wrong turns, lose items, misspell words. Most of those mistakes are quickly forgotten — though they can be embarrassing — and we move on.
But sometimes, mistakes turn out to be happy accidents. Throughout history, decisions and actions that seemed like errors at the time have occasionally turned into wonderful discoveries. Or in some cases, products that seemed to have outlived their welcome found a new life as something else entirely. Think of these scenarios the next time you goof up. Perhaps your slip-up is actually a blessing in disguise.
Popsicles
Frank Epperson was just 11 years old in 1905 when he forgot his cup of soda, with a stirring stick still inside, out on his porch. In the morning when he found the drink frozen solid, but with the handy stick in it, our favorite summer icy sweet was on its way to being created. Epperson called them Epsicles, but the other kids called them “Pop’s sicles,” and now we know them as Popsicles. Cool!
