Famous Accidental Foods

 

The Origins of Famous Food

In the article, The Origins of Famous Foods by Mary Morton Cowan, it describes how many famous foods came from accidental inspiration. Such examples include chocolate chip cookies, lifesavers, tea bags, Coca-Cola, and popsicles. All of these foods were either made by accident or the idea came to the creator accidentally. Many of these foods also changed ownership many times. I think this article is important because it shows that many of the most well known foods happened by mistake and weren’t necessarily planned. For example, the only reason a popsicle exists like we know it today is because some kid accidentally left some juice and a stick outside overnight.
