One of my favorite accidental inventions has to be the microwave oven. It was discovered when Percy Spencer, an engineer working on radar technology, realized that a candy bar in his pocket melted while he was working near a magnetron. This unexpected observation led to the development of the microwave as a cooking appliance, completely changing the way we prepare food. It’s fascinating how a simple accident can lead to such a revolutionary product! What about you? What’s your favorite?
