13. You'd Be Kissing David W. Young...

Tylenol was discovered by David W. Young, a graduate of Covington Latin School and the University of Kentucky, while working on chemical patents at Standard Oil of Ohio in Cleveland, Ohio. The compound had no apparent use and the patent was granted to Young. He later discovered its use while working in Houston, Texas, at which point he sold the patent to Johnson & Johnson.
