You guys, I just learned that TEFLON was invented by accident in 1946 by a chemist named Roy Plunkett, who was trying to create a new type of refrigerant. He stored a sample of hydrofluoric acid in a container, but when he went to use it, he found that the sample had polymerized to form a white solid, which turned out to be the non-stick coating we now know as TEFLON. The crazy part is that when Plunkett first opened the container, he was exposed to the toxic fumes and almost died. Can you imagine stumbling upon something so revolutionary by mistake?watch full video: https://youtu.be/8Z-dJ1Nycdw?list=PLjBgcvtYPpORE75rfTGw-tot-YdUQkOvo
