Today, Lao Gao Food will give you an inventory of the food made by mistakes.
01 Popsicles
Frank W. Epperson invented the snow strip in 1905 when he was only 11 years old. In fact, I just wanted to make a cup of soda, but after mixing soda powder and water, Frank forgot the soda with the stirring stick on the terrace, and when I remembered it the next day, the cup of soda that had been frozen for one night in the cold winter had frozen, so there was a summer holy product of snow sticks~
02 Potato chips
That's right, potato chips were also an accident. The story takes place in a restaurant in Moon Lake Lodge, New York, a very difficult diner complained to the chef that the fries were too thick to eat, and after remaking a slimmer version of the fries, the diners were still not satisfied, so the angry chef George Crum decided to cut the potatoes into paper-like slices and fry them to the guests, who knew that the thin and crispy potato chips were very popular.
03 Sweet cones
The ice cream cones were born from the cooperation of two vendors. In 1904, St. At Louis World's Fair, the ice cream vendor Arnold Fornachou's products were selling well, because the business was so much better than expected, so the paper cups for ice cream quickly ran out, and to help Arnold, Syrian Ernest Hamwi, a baker who sold snacks nearby, decided to roll up the waffle-shaped pastry and give it to him.
04 Corn flakes
The story takes place in 1898, W.K. Kellogg and Dr. Kellogg. John Harvey Kellogg, who were working at a nursing home in Michigan, USA, began researching cereal to make it healthier and easier for patients, but due to a momentary inadvertence, the boiled wheat dried out. In the spirit of not wasting, the two tried to make wheat into dough, but it was too dry and crumbled into sheets, which looked very unsuccessful, but who knew that after baking, it was fragrant and crispy, and it was very popular with patients, so the two brothers decided to continue to improve the cereal, and switched to corn, and later founded the familiar Kellogg's.
05 chocolate chip cookies
In 1930, a woman named Ruth Wakefield and her husband opened a small hotel called the Toll House Inn. One morning, she was about to make cookies for her guests, only to find that she had run out of chocolate for baking! So she had to break the Nestlé chocolate and put it in the dough to use, hoping that the chocolate would melt into the dough when baking, and then the chocolate cookie was born
06 pink lemonade
There are two theories about the birth of pink lemonade, the first is the most disgusting, it is said that Pete Conklin, a vendor working in a circus, searched around because the water used up to make lemonade, and finally found a bucket in the circus's fitting room, but because a woman named Fannie Jamieson had just washed her pink socks with this water, the water was dyed red, which was disgusting, but Pete used it correctly and named it "fine" strawberry lemonade”。
The second story also takes place in a circus, where the water is clean, but circus employee Henry E. Allott accidentally drips a cinnamon candle into the lemonade, which is why it has such a beautiful color.
