Introduction

Did you know the microwave was invented by accident when a guy melted a chocolate bar in his pocket? Or that potato chips started as a spiteful response to a picky customer? Or that the guy who invented the shopping cart had to hire actors to pretend it was cool? Yeah—this podcast is all about that. Who Came Up With That? is the show where we dive into the weird, surprising, and often hilarious origin stories behind the everyday things we all use without thinking—like zippers, paperclips, Q-tips, and bubble wrap. In this short intro episode, host Bang Biskit explains what the show is all about, what to expect in each episode, and why you’ll never look at a toothbrush the same way again.
