Definitely penicillin. All my life my grandmother told me that you got to keep on working, no breaks. Well to her I say HAH especially now in the time of mental health being so much more talked about

The thing about scientific discoveries by accident is that there's no definitive one where they're like "well that's an oopsie I didn't mean to do that" because it did Help science further
You know I just realized as well when you mention that gunpowder was accidentally discovered, remember That in Minecraft the creeper was also an accident due to a bug so in certain ways they share that in common. That's very interesting am I right?
Viagra didn’t treat angina but it sure as hell treated vagina… (applause) thank you thank you.

poor guy with the chocolate bar, while it was melting that it was probably cooking him there too!
A couple of my favorites are the safety glass used in automobiles, an idea sparked by dropping a glass beaker full of adhesive, and rifling imparting spin on bullets increasing their accuracy through gyroscopic stabilization, when it was originally created to put longer grooves in barrels to give more space for black powder fowling to go to allow more shots before fowling made reloading difficult and increased chamber and barrel pressure.
Fun Fact : Some song lyrics/or songs are actually accidental. Even the person singing it. That person didn't expect the song to sound that way.

Viagra, the happy accident that causes unhappy "accidents."
Dude was really just microwaving himself and like "Oh must be the microwave radio signals"
Thank goodness for penicillin. Without it, we would have died.
And they say accidents are bad.
I love the medical stuff.
Thank God for microwaves as well. Since I'm one who doesn't really like cooking this is a lifesaver. Although I don't have a microwave where I am now i found other ways by boiling. Now I buy stuff that doesn't need to be fried or baked. It's cheaper and it's filling
Hi Watchmojo!! I encourage you to also research about Clodomiro Picado Twight, a Costa Rican doctor and scientist who discovered the penicillin a few years earlier than Alexander Fleming.
You never know how experiments will turn out.
Other accidental inventions: Sticky Notes Artificial Sweetener Slinky Silly Putty Popsicle Pacemaker Cyanoacrylate (superglue) Corn Flakes Velcro fasteners Chocolate Chip Cookies Potato Chips LSD (as a drug, the acid it’s based on is natural) ScotchGuard (I’d write the actual name of the chemical, but it’s long) Motocycle Helicopter Stainless Steel Anyone know any others?

Denatonium, the most bitter, non-toxic chemical created, and is used on products not meant to be consumed or to keep whatever it applies out of people's mouths. If a toddler could swallow something, it likely got coated with a derivative of denatonium. It also gets used to discourage nail biting in adults.

There was discrepancy between Peter and the caption said when Vulcanization was found. He said 1893, but it said 1839.

I accidentally discovered how our own alphabet effects our minds and what we do by using our own names. I can now tell anyone things about themselves that I should have no way of knowing, simply by finding out the first letter of their first name. I even wrote a book about it, explaining how I do what I have been doing for almost 20 years now.

Fun fact: the voiceover said 1893 instead of 1839. Made by accident.
1. Even in the modern day gunpowder is still called "fire medicine" in the East Asian languages -Chinese 火薬 (Mandarin huoyao, Cantonese foyeuhk, Fukkien he'ioh) -Korean 화약 (hwayak) -Japanese かやく (kayaku) Relatedly even Persian, Mongolian, & Manchu call gunpowder as "medicine" in their respective languages 2. what's with the Pizza Rolls n speeding jokes I keep seeing in Reddit???
wasn't electricity also discovered by accident?
Thank God for medical anesthesia. I don't think I would want to go there not having that. The pain would be too much and then I actually would be afraid to go to the dentist

Viagra has been refined and is still used as it was originally intended for heart conditions, including angina.
good video
my grandfather invented nitroglycerin before Nobel did, unfortunately, he stirred the container, thinking to make it thinner. oops...

Potato crisps, back in 1853 someone complained that Chef Crum at the Moon's Lake House Lodge’s fried potatoes, were too thick, too soggy, and too bland, and insisted they be replaced, Crum decided to teach the person a lesson so sliced a potato wafer-thin, fried it until it was so brittle that a fork would shatter it, and loaded it with salt, the customer loved it and there we go
