Accidental Inventions
Did you know that many familiar household items were invented by accident? Here are the stories of three of them.
Coca-Cola
In 1886 a pharmacist called John Pemberton made a medicinal syrup. He intended it 1) to use/to be used as a cure for headaches. At first, Pemberton 2) used/was used cold water to dilute the syrup, but one day he found that it 3) had accidentally mixed/had accidentally been mixed with carbonated water by his assistant. This made it fizzy and 4) gave/was given it a more interesting flavour. In the first year Pemberton 5) sold/was sold twenty-five bottles of the drink, for a total of $50. Nowadays, 834 million Coca-Cola products 6) consume/are consumed every day.
Scotchguard
Scotchguard is a substance that 7) prevents/is prevented fabric from 8) marking/being marked by dirt. It 9) discovered/was discovered when a scientist was experimenting with a synthetic rubber that 10) would use/would be used in airplane fuel lines. He accidentally 11) spilt/was spilt some of the substance on his canvas shoe, and it 12) couldn’t remove/couldn’t be removed. As the shoe got older, it got dirtier, except for the area where the substance 13) had spilt/had been spilt.
Crisps
One day in 1853 a New York chef called George Crum made some chips for a customer. The chips 14) sent/were sent back because the customer wanted them 15) to slice/to be sliced a little thinner. This 16) happened/was happened twice, and Crum 17) became/was become rather annoyed. He sliced the potatoes so thin that, once they 18) had fried/had been fried, they 19) couldn’t eat/couldn’t be eaten with a fork. Well, the customer loved the crisp potatoes, and soon they 20) were requesting/were being requested by other diners.
9 Read the article above and choose the correct forms. Which story did you find most interesting? Why?
10 Complete the advertisement with the correct forms of the verbs in brackets.
Does your dog or cat hate 1) being washed? Did you know that you are more likely 2) to be injured while trying to wash a pet than during any other household activity?
If you answered ‘yes’ and ‘no’ to these questions, you need our remarkable Pet Cleaner. We know that it’s horrible 3) to be soaked in water or 4) covered in scratches. When using our bath the pet 5) doesn’t need to be held at all because its body is completely enclosed in the box. However, the animal’s head 6) must not be put inside the bath, or it may panic. We also recommend that the pet 7) should be kept in the box for at least fifteen minutes after 8) being rinsed, so that it calms down and you avoid 9) being attacked when it comes out.
A further advantage of the Pet Cleaner is that it 10) can be used as a carrier for your pet when you are travelling.
