Not like a real existential thought, but rather like, huh, that\u2019s bizarre, did someone really intentionally design it that way? After which, you likely forgot about it all together, and your brain filed it away and moved on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is the thing: a lot of weird design aspects?\u2026 not necessarily random. Someone, somewhere, consciously thought about that. It has a reason for that weird bump or notch or hole or groove or whatever it is. Like\u2026 most of us just never knew. Somewhere, in the 1970s, the information may have been distributed and we all collectively forgot. Who knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyway, I found a bunch of these, and some of them are really wild. Stuff you probably use every single day without knowing it has&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/hannah\/everyday-objects-secret-uses\/\">a hidden purpose<\/a>&nbsp;in embedded in the design. Fifteen, to be exact. Let\u2019s just say after this you may look at your stuff a little differently. Or not. It is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Hole In Pen Cap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/hole.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">source:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/fosscrunch.com\/ballpoint-pen-cap-holes-mystery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FossCrunch&nbsp;<\/a>\/&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/es\/g\/VangelisVassalakis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shutterstock<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you ever wondered why many pen caps have a small hole in the top? When pens began being manufactured, companies soon realized that pen caps could pose a huge choking hazard for children. As a result, they designed caps with a hole in the top so that, if the cap was swallowed, children would still be able to pass air through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Soda Can Tab<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/soda.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12638\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">source:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/LifeProTips\/comments\/o5tzl\/how_to_keep_the_straw_from_rising_out_of_your\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reddit.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The majority of soda can tabs have a hole in the middle of them. This isn\u2019t so you can fit your finger underneath; rather, it serves as a placeholder for your straw!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Gas Light Arrow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/gas.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12639\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">source:&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/1000awesomethings.com\/2008\/07\/08\/988-the-gas-arrow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1000 Awesome Things<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you look at your vehicle\u2019s gas light, you should notice an arrow beside the gas pump icon. This arrow serves as a reminder for the driver of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/maka\/why-are-gas-tanks-located-on-different-sides-in-various-cars\/\">which side the gas tank<\/a>&nbsp;is on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Paper Margins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/paper.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">source:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2YhuVde\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re all familiar with the wide margins on lined sheets of paper. Did you know that the margins were originally developed to protect what was on the paper? Since mice and rats used to be extremely common in people\u2019s houses, the margins were meant to protect the documents from chewing pests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Long Bottle Necks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/bottles-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12641\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">source:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/photos\/heineken-drink-beverage-cold-2592297\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pixabay<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The long neck seen on glass beer and soda bottles was actually designed to encourage the drinker to hold the bottle by the neck. That way, the heat generated from their hand wouldn\u2019t warm up the liquid in the bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Pot Handle Hole<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/pot.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/maka\/the-real-purpose-of-the-hole-in-your-pot-handle\/\">pot handles have a hole<\/a>&nbsp;in the end, it\u2019s not for decoration. This hole is actually meant to serve as a spoon holder!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Small Jeans Pocket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/jeans.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12643\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">source:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.today.com\/style\/why-do-jeans-have-tiny-pocket-t113216\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Today Show<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you ever wondered why your jeans have a fifth, extremely small pocket that\u2019s far too small to store anything in? Well, this pocket was originally designed to house pocket watches!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Solo Cup Lines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/cup3.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">source:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/what-are-lines-on-solo-cups-2017-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Business Insider&nbsp;<\/a>\/&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/wolfsavard\/3327934768\/in\/photostream\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Flickr<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lines on a red Solo cup actually help measure standard alcohol quantities. The bottom line represents a shot of hard alcohol, the middle line corresponds to a glass of wine, and the top line equals&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/maka\/why-nonic-pint-glasses-have-a-bulge\/\">a glass of beer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Ladle Hole<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ladle.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12645\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">source:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.popsugar.com\/food\/How-Measure-Spaghetti-41730124\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PopSugar<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your pasta ladle has a hole in the center, this is because that hole actually measures the appropriate serving size for spaghetti!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Wooden Hangers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/hangers.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12646\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">source:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/best-hangers-4154664\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Spruce<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While wooden hangers look more stylish than plastic or metal ones, that isn\u2019t actually their intended purpose. Manufacturers originally made wooden hangers from cedar because it naturally repels pests, reducing the chance of moths chewing on clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Tiny Lock Hole<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/lock.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">source:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eBaPD29jsSE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube\/Marta Silva<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/maka\/the-purpose-of-small-holes-in-your-padlock\/\">padlock has a tiny hole<\/a>&nbsp;beside the lock mechanism, it\u2019s so that water can pass through the hole and drain out if the lock becomes exposed to water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Fast Food Ketchup Containers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ketchup.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">source:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/YouShouldKnow\/comments\/lx07e\/ysk_ketchup_cups_in_fast_food_restaurants_open_up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reddit<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You know those small, ribbed&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/hannah\/proper-way-use-ketchup-cups\/\">ketchup containers<\/a>&nbsp;you get at fast food restaurants? Well, you can pull those ribs outward to expand the container and hold a lot more sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. Fabric Patches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/patch.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12649\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">source:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scoopwhoop.com\/extra-sample-cloth-in-new-clothes\/#.bn04wdpsy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Scoop Woop<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may have bought a piece of clothing that comes with extra buttons and a tiny patch of fabric. While you can use this piece of fabric to patch a hole, its intended purpose is to let you test cleaning products without ruining the entire garment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14. Chinese Takeout Containers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/chinese.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12650\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">source:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/chinese-takeout-boxes_n_2571824\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Huffington Post<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those odd-shaped Chinese takeout containers actually serve a genius purpose. When you get your food home, you\u2019re supposed to unfold the sides to have an instant paper plate that your food is already sitting on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">15. Removable Headrests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/headrest.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12651\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">source:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/survivial-training.wonderhowto.com\/how-to\/headrest-your-vehicle-can-potentially-save-your-life-one-day-0150468\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WonderHowTo<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The removable&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/homemaking.com\/maka\/why-those-metal-rods-in-car-headrests-are-way-more-important-than-you-think\/\">headrests in your car<\/a>&nbsp;are actually an important survival tool. If you ever become trapped in your vehicle, you could remove the headrest and use the two metal prods to smash out a window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In any case, it\u2019s sort of crazy, right? All of the little design details that you had never really seen the why of\u2014or, maybe, you had for a second, then immediately expressed acceptance and moved on\u2014actually had a point. Or still do. Somebody somewhere said, hey, let\u2019s put a hole here or a weird fold there, and, we just went along without any real scrutiny. And now, all of the sudden, you are looking at your jeans pocket, and you\u2019re thinking, oh\u2026 that\u2019s not just decorative uselessness, awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But maybe this is all just something that stays with you if you are the kind of person who gets distracted at red lights wondering why the gas symbol looks like it does. If you aren\u2019t, no harm done. You will likely forget half of this by the time you wake up tomorrow. Or you will remember them all at once when you\u2019re trying to explain to someone why a Solo cup has lines, and they are looking at you like you have truly lost your mind. Which, to be real, is sort of the fun of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ternalnews.com\/archives\/author\/market\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever looked at a random item in daily life (say, a soda cap or the hole in the top of a pen cap), and thought to yourself, wait\u2026 &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18494,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
