9. He Invented Everything But Peanut Butter

Mmm, I could go for some peanut butter right now. George Washington Carver invented just about every peanut-related invention except peanut butter. Given his cultivation and research on peanuts, he did, in fact, find many uses and produce a lot of research in relation to the nutrition that could be gained from peanuts.

What he didn’t do, however, is invent peanut butter. Don’t discount it, however, as it was his research that contributed to its eventual creation by John Harvey Kellogg. That’s right, the same man whose name your favorite breakfast cereal carries.
