How my catchy twitter handle launched me into entrepreneurship

In the world of business and innovation, not everything is planned. Some things, we just stumble upon. In 1968, scientist Spencer Silver was trying to create super glue, but what resulted was glue so weak nothing it was used on would stick.

It was that glue that gave us today’s post-it notes. In 1853 an African American chef, George Crum, was upset by a customer who kept sending his serving of French fries back to the kitchen because he said they were too thick and soggy. George, in frustration, cut super thin pieces of potatoes, fried them to a crisp and added salt. It was that dish that gave us today’s crisps.
