Dessert inventions? Sweet! Let’s make play clay

How do inventors make one of the sweetest parts of Thanksgiving-dessert-even sweeter? Whether your favorite pie is pecan or pumpkin, there are so many inventors to thank! We can thank Elijah Dickinson for canned pumpkin, Gail Borden for condensed milk, and Kenneth James Poole for the pie crust and edge maker. And if you love ice cream with your pie, we can't forget Alfred Cralle, who invented the one-handed ice cream scoop!
Either way you slice it, you’re sure to end up with a pile of dirty dishes! Thankfully, Josephine Cochran invented the dishwasher. While others had tried to create a machine to automate dish cleaning, no one was successful. With no inventor convinced that domestic dishwashing was a worthwhile endeavor, Cochran determined, “If nobody else is going to invent a dishwashing machine, I'll do it myself.” Today, you’ll run tests on canned pumpkin and cocoa powder. As you experiment, you’ll also discover the scientific secret behind the dishwashers' best friend: soap.
