A netizen wondered about a wooden object he found and took to social media to find out its origin.
Everyday objects
Sometimes we use objects every day without knowing their “journey”, without knowing how they were made, or even without asking ourselves if they have always been as we see them every day.
Famous pins
We’ve all at least once dried our laundry or seen our neighbors hang socks, shirts, or pants out on a line in the sun. To keep all these clothes from flying away in the wind, pins are used to hold them in place.
Clothespins
Originally, these pins were made of wood before being introduced in plastic due to cost issues. We’re talking, of course, about clothespins, everyday objects sold by the millions every year in countries all over the world.
