1: 25 (& then later again at 1: 38: You keep saying radioactive waves! Why!
Microwaves are NOT 'radioactive waves' (whatever THAT means!
This betrays your lack of understanding of basic EM frequency range & also radioactivity!
# Goodyear died in poverty due to patent battles that depleted his meagre finances.
# Other accidental inventions: Scotch tape; Velcro; Penicillin; Viagra

The most important use for Velveeta is nachos, which was not an accident but was developed in an unexpected way whose details escape me at the moment. If only someone would invent something to help me keep track of my stray trivia.

Safety glass was also an accidental invention. A scientist dropped a beaker with dried nitrocellulose in it, it cracked but didn't shatter all over the place.

0: 37 It is incredible how much Microwave ovens are used today.

Many weird foods were probably invented by accident, like alcohol, fermented foods and moldy cheese. Hey, maybe it is still edible?
