Top Ten Foods Invented by Mistake

The Top Ten
1 Potato Chips

The story: Some dude went to eat to a restaurant, but he was unhappy with the potatoes which he claimed where not sliced thinly enough, this repeated itself until the chef went really angry.

So he sliced the potatoes into skinny leaf sized slices and overdosed them on salt going "Buahaha! MWAAAHAHAAHA! " Then he presented them to the complaining dude which tasted them and went "Holy they are good! Just like my mom used to make them! "

He later died because the chef had rat poison in them too, but you where not supposed to know this part where you?

Also they say the chef (in this mostly) accurate story then got the creds for "inventing" this new recipe and called them Ships at first, but over time the word got corrupted into the word Chips.

The true question here is: Did not the other guys (which did not die) mom actually invent them then? Actually it was not his mom but he was happy about them, so he made them himself... Or maybe he learned when his mom ...more

5 Ice Cream Cones

Ice cream cones were made in the first place due to there being no bowls for ice cream, which led to waffles being used as a substitute for the bowls, giving us the ice cream cones we know and love today. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The first edible waffle cone for serving ice cream was created by Ernest Hamwi in 1904 at the St. Louis World Fair. His waffle booth was next to an ice cream vendor that ran out of bowls. Hamwi rolled a waffle so that it could hold ice cream and thus the ice cream cone was born.

6 French Fries French fries are served hot, either soft or crispy, and are generally eaten as part of lunch or dinner or by themselves as a snack, and they commonly appear on the menus of fast food restaurants. Fries in America are generally salted and are often served with ketchup; in many countries they are topped instead with other condiments or toppings, including vinegar, mayonnaise, or other local specialties.
