This will haunt you... The microwave oven was invented by accident in 1946 when Percy Spencer, an engineer at Raytheon, noticed a chocolate bar in his pocket had melted while testing a magnetron, a device that generates microwaves. He then experimented with popcorn kernels and an egg, which exploded due to the rapid heating. This chance discovery led to the creation of the first microwave oven, standing over 5 feet tall and weighing over 750 pounds. The first commercial microwave oven was released in 1954, priced at around $5,000, equivalent to $50,000 today. What other life-changing inventions were discovered by accident?
