Accidental Inventions
We all get excited when we invent new things or use technology. We will get more excited when we find out by accident.
- John used to stir chemicals with the help of wooden sticks in his lab. One day there was chemical residue on the sticks. As he was too lazy to get up and wash the stick, he simply scratched it down, and suddenly fire got caught in the stick. Initially, he used the ice cream sticks as matchsticks, but as time passed, the size of the sticks shrank. are the matchsticks we are using now.
2. In 1904, due to the very hot summer, people were purchasing more ice cream. Due to the shortage of ice cream cups, a shop owner bought many biscuits from the nearby shop and placed his ice cream on top of them and served it. He noticed that people also ate the biscuits after eating the ice cream. But flat biscuits did not stop the ice cream from leaking, so they made the biscuits in cone shape. Which led to the invention of cone ice creams.
3. John Pemberton, a pharmacist, mixed coca leaves and kola nuts to cure headaches. They should be mixed in water and drunk to relieve headaches, but his friends mixed it in soda instead. It tasted good. That is the birth story of Coca-Cola.
