Smarter Guide to Tell Your Everyday Item With Hidden Features Which You aren’t Aware Off! PART 1
We use so many items on a daily basis without knowing that we have been using them the wrong way our entire lives. When used the right way, these items can easily solve all those little issues that you used to or still face. In this list, you will also understand why some items are designed the way they are. So, without further ado, let’s start it.
Why Is There A Loop In Back Of Shirt?
If you have a garden-variety shirt, this tip won’t apply. If you have a collared shirt, there must be a loop at the back. We all need to thank the Navy for it as men in the Navy had loops at the back of their shirts so that they could easily hang them on hooks. After that in the 60s, it became common among college students to prevent their shirts from wrinkles. Now, the loop is used as a sign of quality and class.
The Cute Dimples on Golf Ball
If we go into the technicality of golf balls, they are not round and so they cannot really be called as balls. But let’s not go there. The dimples on golf balls are because some golfers realized that balls with nicks and bumps would travel further as compared to smooth ones.

The Role of A Hole Next To Camera
You must have looked at the camera of the iPhone and noticed that there is a little hole right by the camera lens and wondered why it is there. Well, we will discard the conspiracy theory that it lets Facebook spy on people. In reality, it is a microphone. In fact, there are three microphones on almost every smartphone; one on the bottom edge of the phone, one under the speaker grill, and one next to the camera lens.
Bobby Pin’s Zigzag Side
If you have ever used a bobby pin or are still using it, you may have noticed there is one straight side and the other one is a little wavy. It is because the zigzag side helps catch a big clump of hair and stops the bobby pin from sliding out of your scalp.
The Purpose of Disc Under Bottle Cap
There is a very low probability that you have never wondered why there is a little plastic disc under the cap of a soda bottle. It may seem unnecessary, but it is there to help with carbonation. We cannot go into the science behind it, but it helps trap the carbon dioxide inside the bottle. Without it, you cannot enjoy the fizz in your drink.
Why There Are Holes in Airplane Windows?
If you have ever traveled by plane, you must have observed there is a hole in the window? Did it freak you out? Of course, it can scare you at first because you are flying up in the air and you start to think maybe it is because of air pressure or something.
This hole is called a breather hole because when an airplane climbs, there is a drop in the air pressure and the breather hole helps the cabin pressure stay at a safe and comfortable level. With the breather hole, the plane can deal with the changing pressure difference.
Why Are There Ridges on Coins?
The quarters and dimes have rough edges, but you may have noticed that nickels and pennies don’t have them. It is because coins were stamped in different weights back in the day. It was done to reflect the true value of the coin. To ensure that people don’t shave the edges and melt the coins into new ones, ridges were put there so that no one tampers with them.
The Purpose of Bumps On Keyboard
If you are using your computer or laptop right now, look at the keyboard and you will notice the F and J keys have two little bumps on them. Have you ever wondered what their purpose is?
Well, they are for the convenience of users as they can easily find their way on the keyboard without even looking at it. Try it and though it may take some time to get used to it, you will find using your keyboard a lot easier.
