3- Have you noticed aviator sunglasses mostly have green lenses? It has something to do with their origin. First, they showed up in the 1930s, before that pilots had goggles to protect their eyes while they were in the air, high altitudes with glaring sun and sub-zero temperatures were a real test for their eyes. The goggles helped them with those issues, but there was another one. Since, the temperature differences between the air outside and within the goggles were big, the lenses would fog up and obscure the pilot's view. So, the company Bausch and Lomb came up with teardrop lenses surrounded by a light metal frame. These lenses were dark green because this tint cuts out blue light which is also a problem for pilots when they're flying above the cloud line, plus green lenses also reduce glare and improve contrast and sharpness.

So, the ridges are there to improve your hand grip. The second reason is that because of these ridges manufacturers can use thinner plastic that means they need less material in overall production. And that plastic is still firm enough for the bottle to maintain its shape.

11-  Some sweatshirts have something pretty specific in the neck area. A v-shaped stitch, you can see in the middle of the collar. The ribbed insert is similar to the ribbing at them and the sleeves would allow the owner to put the garment on more easily. And it wouldn't even lose shape if the v insert would stretch. So, a person wearing a sweatshirt could get their head through the neck. Its purpose was also to absorb sweat. In its early versions, sweatshirts had both the back and the front of the collars. Through time, they lost the back one and this v insert became something decorative since manufacturers started to stitch a v at the collar without using the ribbed material they had added before.

12-  Brightly colored squares or circles you see on food packages aren't an indication of vitamins, minerals or certain flavors that food contains. Nope it's not some secret code consumers are supposed to crack. It's actually for printing engineers, they're called process control patches or printer's color blocks during the process of printing the food packaging manufacturers use those colored blocks to check if the printing ink is correct. They compare the color of blocks they print to make sure the brand they print for has a consistent and recognizable quality all over the world.

13- The majority of printers only use four colors: cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Some printers have additional colors such as green, orange and violet. That's why; you sometimes see multiple circles on certain packages. They test each ink color margin in notebooks. They're not there as some sort of a guide for taking notes and writing. Someone came up with a potential solution that was supposed to protect the written work from rats. They used to be pretty common residents in people's homes. They are known for their diet including basically anything like paper for example, so people started adding wide margins as an appetizer that was supposed to keep rats full this way.

14- The written pages suits have a buttonhole close to the top of the lapel manufacturers sew it shut. So, you can't open it without ruining your suit and when you compare it to the other lapel you see that one is completely smooth without any clues. You won't find such an unpatented buttonhole on a suit jacket; only camp shirts, pea coats and some other clothing pieces have them too. They have to do with the history of lapels; the earliest ones showed up at the beginning of the 19th century before these men mostly wore frogs with high collars. They would button them all the way up to the top during hot days. They would relax the button stance, turn down the collars and leave the top button undone. It was a relief from the sweltering plus their folded overlaps would be symmetrical at the chest and today we recognize that as a lapel people stopped using that buttonhole. After they came up with the lapel unless it was for some formal occasion like for example, when you wanted to put a flower in there that's why soup makers left it as a fashion feature for tea bags. It's pretty easy to guess what they're for but they come in handy.
