A simple cooking error led to the creation of the now-classic Nestlé Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie. In 1930, Ruth Wakefield, who ran the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts, added chopped pieces of a semi-sweet chocolate bar to her Butter Drop Do cookie dough, expecting the chunks to melt. But the chocolate only softened and held its shape. The cookies were a hit at her inn. Eventually Ruth's recipe was published in a Boston newspaper and ended up on the wrapper of the Nestlé semi-sweet chocolate bar.

Kids and adults alike collect PEZ dispensers to store the beloved candies. But PEZ wasn't always so fruity. It was developed as a peppermint candy more than 70 years ago in Vienna and marketed as a cigarette substitute. (In fact, the name PEZ was derived from the German word for peppermint: PfeffErminZ). Although PEZ has come a long way from its anti-smoking roots, it's still a popular treat. Today, more than 3 billion PEZ candies are consumed annually in the U.S.
