Most classic delicacies were created after many attempts and modifications, but there are always accidents in everything. The birth of some foods that are still popular today was actually purely accidental.

Below I will introduce to you 8 kinds of delicious food that were born due to mistakes.

1. Popsicles Frank W. Epperson invented the popsicle in 1905 when he was only 11 years old.

In fact, the original intention was just to make a cup of soda water. However, after mixing the soda powder and water, Frank forgot the soda water with the stirring stick on the terrace. When he remembered it the next day, the cup was frozen in the cold winter.

The soda water from the night has frozen, so there is the holy summer treat of ice cream.

2. Potato chips (potato chips/potato chips) Yes, potato chips are also a surprise.

The story happened in a restaurant at Moon Lake Lodge in New York. A very difficult diner complained to the chef that the fries were too thick to eat. After making a slimmer version of the fries, the diner was still not satisfied, so he was full of anger.

Chef George Crum decided to cut potatoes into paper-thin slices and fry them for guests. Unexpectedly, these thin and crispy potato chips turned out to be very popular.

3. Snow Cone (Sweet Cone) The birth of Snow Cone originated from the cooperation of two vendors.

At the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904, ice cream vendor Arnold Fornachou's products were a hit. Business was much better than expected, so the paper cups for the ice cream quickly ran out. In order to help Arnold, he sold dessert bakery nearby.

Chef Syrian Ernest Hamwi decided to roll up the waffle-like snack and use it to hold his ice cream.

4. Corn flakes (corn flakes) The story takes place in 1898. The brothers W.K. Kellogg and Dr. John Harvey Kellogg were working in a sanatorium in Michigan, USA. In order to make patients eat healthier and eat easier, the brothers began research

Cereal cereal, but due to a moment of negligence, the boiled wheat became dry.

In the spirit of not wasting money, the two tried to make wheat dough into dough. The result was that it was too dry and shattered into flakes. It looked like a huge failure. However, after baking, it became fragrant and crispy, and was well received by the patients. Therefore, the two

The brothers decided to continue improving cereal and switched to corn, and later founded Kellogg's, which we are familiar with.

5. Chocolate Chip Cookies (Chocolate Cookies) In 1930, a woman named Ruth Wakefield and her husband *** opened a small hotel called "Toll House Inn".

One morning, as she was preparing to make cookies for her guests, she discovered that she had run out of chocolate for baking!

So she had to break up the Nestlé chocolate and put it into the dough for use, hoping that the chocolate would melt into the dough during baking. Then, chocolate chip cookies were born~ 6. Orange cream French pancakes There are many kinds of French pancakes

There are many variations, but this one is definitely a classic among them.

There are different opinions about its birth. The most common theory is that in 1895, 14-year-old Henri Charpentier worked as a waiter in the Monte Carlo cafe.

One day, while preparing dessert for the Prince of Wales, the frying pan suddenly caught fire. Since there was no time to start over, I had to bite the bullet and serve it.

However, Henri actually tasted it secretly before serving it to the prince, and found that the taste was amazing, so he was bold enough to take it out.

7. Slurpee: Many friends must have bought Slurpee at 7-11, right?

Don’t think this thing is a new product, it appeared in 1958!

Dairy Queen owner Omar Knedlik often orders soda for customers to buy. Because the soda is left in the freezer for too long, it sometimes gets icy residue. Unexpectedly, customers like this special taste very much.

In order to meet the demand, the boss decided to develop a machine that specializes in making smoothie-like soda - the ICEE vending machine.

Due to its popularity, more than 300 companies including 7-11 have purchased this machine.

In 1965, 7-Eleven signed an agreement with the company and officially changed ICEE's name to Slurpees.
