Sometimes unplanned things or mistakes turn out to be brilliant.
Fruit pie was supposedly a mistake. It was all meat pie in England, until someone screwed up and put fruit in it. If not for that we wouldn't have apple pie, peach pie, and a whole lot of others.
Someone at 3M made post-its. It was a failure because they didn't stick as planned. They came un-stuck. But what would I do without them now?
Crepes Suzette were another mistake.
According to one version of the story, yogurt was the result of malice gone wrong (gone good) and turned out to be a great new thing.
Marmalade was invented because someone in England had to figure out what to do with a ship full of oranges from France and not let them go to waste. One of my favorite things is the result.
