A Jeans’ Fifth Pocket
Most denim jeans have a tiny pocket on the side but don’t worry, some of us didn’t know it was there until we read about it. It’s called the fifth pocket and people stick their Chapstick or tuck away their cash. But in the mid-1800s, it was used by gold miners to store their pocket watches and keep them safe. That’s because in those days, they were often expensive and quite delicate.
The Extra Fabric in New Clothes
You’ve probably used that extra piece of fabric that comes in new clothes to patch up a hole. But there’s a different reason why manufacturers provided that sample. It was added so people can test their laundry detergent with it. That way they can determine if the detergent will damage the fabric or not. Unbelievable right?
