We all experiment at some time in our lives. After all, how would so many of today's luxuries have come into being without experimenting first?
The following cluster looks at some experiments that never should have seen the light of day, but are fun to watch just the same. Included are open car roof car washes, shrimps on treadmills, and the famonus diet Coke and Mentos experiments.
Implications - From open-roof car washes to rebranding experiments, without experiments society wouldn't have most of the products we have today. By encouraging experimentation, more products, useful or not will be created and ultimately, may create the next big product or experience no one can live without.
