Foods That Were Discovered by Accident.

Some people may think that the various delicacies that exist today are the findings or experiments of professional chefs.

But you know, that some of the most popular food in the world was accidentally discovered, and never thought of before.

Popsicle

The story of the origin of popsicle is very interesting. One night, in San Fransico precisely in 1905, an 11-year-old boy, Frank Eppersen, accidentally put a stick into a glass of soda which he left on the terrace all night.

According to The New York report, when Frank was about to retrieve the glass the next morning, the soft drink had frozen and clung to the stalk put in by him. It was not until 1922 that the popsicle was first introduced to the public of the United States.

Potato Chips

Although not found spontaneously, so far potato chips included in the list of the most popular snacks in the world. According to The Christian Science Monitor report, potato chips were found by hotel chefs in upstate New York, after a customer complained about the fries being too thick, wet and tasteless.

Chef George Crum feels offended and on the next order he makes thin chips from potato slices, then cooks them in large quantities, then he adds a lot of salt sprinkles because he is annoyed to hear "tasteless" comments on his cooking. But unexpectedly, George's evil intentions gave birth to a new food recipe that now known as chips or potato chips.

Beer

According to the History Channel, beer was first discovered by an agrarian community some 12,000 years ago. At that time, the community is developing infrastructure to grow cereal grains. Fermentation of these grains turned out to produce processed beer. This drink is very popular among the Egyptians. Workers are even willing to be paid with beer mixed with olive oil, dates, and other ingredients.

Sandwich

Who would have thought that this delicious dish was born from a gambling table. This story begins when a nobleman named Earl of Sandwich addicted to gambling to forget the time. Earl even asked his personal cook to make food he could eat without having to leave the gambling table. The cook then brought the beef clipped by two slices of bread. The dish was very well-liked by Earl, and was eventually named after his hometown, Sandwich.
