Tiny Things, Big Ideas Part 1
The idea of this chain is to point out some tiny things in our lives that we don't think much about, but are actually really fun to see what they were actually meant to do.
I don't know about the other series, but in this thread, I'll be taking suggestions from the commenters and see if I can conjure something up that would interest them (based on their ideas, of course).
With that out of the way...
Probably most of you have bought at least one pair of jeans. When you look at them, you usually think something along the lines of "Wow, that's so cool and stylish!" However, what you don't notice is probably the pockets on the sides of the jeans and on the back -- specifically, that little hip pocket that's (probably) on your right.
That hip pocket can actually be a kind of a nuisance, because you'll have to push through it to get your keys, of if you're one who likes stuff that comes in fads, some of those new-fangled fidget spinners.
However, the little hip pocket serves an ancient purpose. (Well, fine. It's not that ancient, but the 1800s seem pretty far away to me.) What's it actually for? Drumroll, please...
Well, to find out the answer, we'll have to go all the way back to the old days of the creation of jeans. The jean maker apparently liked to be considerate, so he made a little pocket to keep those old, heavy watches in. This tiny hip pocket might be minuscule, but it has a huge backstory.

P.S: Hope you liked this post. If you have more suggestions on what I should write, please just comment below. I'll try to do another one immediately after someone suggests something (first come, first serve!) or in about a week or so.
