The fact that Ivory floats was a result of overcooking it. Silly Putty was another attempt at an invention of a synthetic rubber, chocolate chip cookies were a wonderful accident! The Slinky, the pacemaker, Teflon, saccharine Play-Doh super glue, bakelite there are a lot more. I think potato chips were. I'll get back to you with more later if you remind me.
