Did you know that some of the world's most popular and useful inventions were created totally by accident? They include potato chips, the Popsicle, Coca-Cola, the Frisbee, the Slinky toy, X-rays, penicillin, blue jeans, Velcro, rubber, the microwave oven, Teflon, matches – even the World Wide Web (better known to computer users as www). The list is just about endless! In this class, you will learn the fascinating story behind everyday items that were made by mistake. But make no mistake – you'll be amazed by the unusual way each invention came about unexpectedly! Meish is the author of 500+ books, including Oy Vey! A Yiddish Coloring Book? for adults and has performed standup himself. Wrote for the television series Shalom Sesame, which first aired on PBS in 1986.
