8 -That Should Not Have Worked

Not everything that works… starts out that way. In this episode, we look at three unexpected stories—from the weak adhesive behind Post-it Notes, to a contaminated lab that led to Penicillin, to a melted candy bar that helped inspire the Microwave oven. Each one began as something that didn’t go as planned. And each one became something more. Because sometimes, it’s not a failure… It’s just not what you expected. Funny how things work out.
