Did you know that Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin BY MISTAKE when he forgot to tidy his lab? Or that an 11-year-old child accidentally invented . . . the ICE LOLLY? What about the chemist whose fiery failure led to . . . the very first MATCHSTICK? Or the chef whose attempt to annoy a fussy customer resulted in . . . the creation of CRISPS?
From building blunders to musical mishaps, mouthwash to ice-cream cones, post-it notes to fireworks, there are all sorts of incredible mistakes that you've probably never heard of . . . and some of them have shaped life as you know it! Maybe one day YOU will make an incredible mistake too.
