We Bet You Can’t Guess What These 10 Things Are Really Used For

Every day we see lots of objects, and we are so used to this variety that we never even ask ourselves things like, “Why do you actually need a hole in a Chupa Chups stick?”

Pom-poms are generally perceived as an accessory today, but their history dates back as far as the 18th century. Back then, French sailors wore hats with pom-poms to protect their heads from bumping on low deck ceilings. Later, different army suits included caps with pom-poms, and you could tell the military service by their shape and color.

It’s not to save a child from choking, as many believe: that’s what the empty length of the stick is for. The side hole is made to keep the candy on the holder. When it’s dipped into the liquid candy, the hole is filled first, making the whole sweet sit tightly on top.

If you guessed they weren’t a purposeful stylish addition, then you were right. At the end of the 19th century, European clothing factories exported most of their produce abroad, and to make the most of the cargo hold space, the clothes were pressed down before shipping. The resulting creases on pants were almost impossible to get rid of. Later, they just became fashionable.

The inner layer both in men’s and women’s underwear has to be made of a special soft material. Ladies’ panties, however, are made so that both seams can’t be inside, so one of them is not sewn, resulting in this “pocket.” So now you know you shouldn’t put anything in there.
