Popsicles, potato chips, Silly Putty, Velcro, and many other familiar things have fascinating stories behind them. In fact, dozens of products and everyday items had surprisingly haphazard beginnings. "Mistakes That Worked" offers forty of these unusual tales, along with hilarious cartoons and weird and amazing facts. Readers will be surprised and inspired! "From the Trade Paperback edition."
Industry Reviews
"Jones gathers together in a splendid book that is as informative as it is entertaining. Jones has great fun with facts, dredging up plenty in a lively, anecdotal account that recollects the oddball origins of a variety of foods, clothing, toys, and devices....A gem of a book."--"Booklist," starred review. "From the Trade Paperback edition."
