Product Description:
This doesn't sound like a sad book from the title, but listen to this: George Washington never had a chocolate chip cookie. According to this book, they weren't invented until 1930, and even then it was merely an accident. I wouldn't have guessed that so many of the things that exist today were the result of mistakes. This book gives the interesting account of how 40 common foods, clothes, medicines, materials and other objects began existence as results of accidents. ~ Steph
