10. Coca-Cola
One of the world’s most popular drinks was created by John Pemberton as a medicine against headaches. But his assistant accidently mixed its two main ingredients (coca leaves and cola nuts) with carbonated water. Which proves once again: you shouldn’t be afraid to experiment, if you want to get lucky.

9. Popsicles
Back in 1905 a teenager named Frank Epperson left a mixture of soda powder and water in a glass out in the cold with a stirring stick in it. 20 years later “ice lollipops” became really popular and Epperson became extremely rich.

8. Microwave
An engineer named Percy Spencer was experimenting with an enemy-plane detector when he accidently discovered that magnetron can melt chocolate. This accidental product brought Raytheon (the industrial corporation where Spencer worked) about $25 billion.

7. Penicillin
It was discovered by chance in 1928 by Scottish biologist Alexander Fleming. He came back home after a vacation and found a dirty dish full of bacteria and mold that he had forgotten to clean. It was then when he noticed that the mold actually killed the bacteria. Thanks to him forgetting to do his dishes, we have antibiotics today.

6. “Hoxne Hoard”
Peter Whatling, a British farmer, asked his friend Eric Lawes to help him, using his home-made metal detector, to find his lost hammer. But instead of the hammer they found a wooden box with jewelry and coins worth about $15 million. Archeologists named this treasure the “ Hoxne Hoard ” and it was brought to the British Museum for display. Eric got a prize of $2.3 million, which he shared with Peter.

5. Super glue
Super glue was accidently discovered when Harry Coover , an American chemist, and his team were trying to develop materials to make plastic gun sights. It became a very popular commercial product in 1985 and generated around to $2.5 billion.

4. Golden nuggets
A local farmer from Australia was searching for something with a metal detector on the land around his home when he accidently detected and dug out some little nuggets of gold. He continued digging and found a 5.5 kg piece of gold that was worth $315,000.
