Summary
Many items that we use almost every day had surprisingly haphazard beginnings: Scotchguard was discovered when a scientist spilled part of an experiment on her shoe. Potato chips were first made by a chef who was furious when a customer… complained that his fried potatoes weren't thin enough. Here are the stories behind forty things that were invented or named by accident, including aspirin, X-rays, frisbees, silly putty, and velcro. Grades 4-7. 1991.
