faites verse presents eight things you
didn't know about everyday objects
number one loops on back of shopping
cart most people look at the back of a
child seat in a shopping cart and think
it's just that the back of the child's
seat but you may have never realized is
that the loops are actually there for
you to hang your grocery bags on this
gives you extra space in the cart and
you can hang your bags that contain
chips bread and anything else that can
be damaged under the weight of the other
bags number two dimple in a wine bottle
the name of the dimple on the bottom of
wine bottle is actually called a punt
many people believe that this dimple is
there so that you can put your thumb
inside it to make pouring easier while
that is one purpose it's actually a
remnant from the era when wine bottles
were free blown using a blowpipe the
best method of getting the bottle to
stand up is to push the bottom of the
bottle inside the punt also comes in
handy when there's a sparkling liquid
inside such as champagne the dimple
helps to equalize and distribute the
pressure from the bubbles without the
punt a bottle containing sparkling
liquid would explode
number three tiny hole on a padlock most
padlocks have a round hole next to the
actual keyhole the major purpose of this
hole is to pour oil in to lubricate the
mechanism if it gets stuck the hole also
acts as a drain if water or debris fills
up inside of the lock you can drain out
of the tiny hole this will prevent the
mechanisms on the inside from becoming
rusted and corroded number four tyre
bumps the little bumps between the
threads on your tyre look like a
manufacturer's error however they
actually do have a purpose these little
bumps are used to make the minimum safe
tread height of your tyre so you can
determine whether or not your tires are
safe to drive on in many places it is
against the law to drive when the bumps
are worn down also a vehicle would not
pass inspection if the bumps are worn
down number five
metal part on gas pump
if you've ever looked around at the gas
pump you've likely noticed that at the
top of the rubber hose there's a metal
piece the reason for this is to prevent
destruction due to human error
if a person's pumping gas and forgets to
take the nozzle out and they drive off
this metal attachment will keep them
from ripping the entire pump out of the
ground the piece of metal is actually a
magnet that would come off quite easily
if you were to forget that you were
pumping gas and drove on number 6 hole
at the end of a tape measure if you've
ever used a tape measure you've likely
noticed the small hole at the end if
you're measuring something yourself and
you have nobody to hold the tape measure
in place you can bang a nail into the
surface that you are measuring through
the hole and the nail will secure the
tape measure so you can get an accurate
reading without worrying about the tape
measure slipping if you've ever used a
tape measure you likely also noticed the
serrated edges this edge makes it
possible to mark the spot that you are
starting your measurement if your hands
are too busy taking the measurement to
use a pencil to draw the mark you can
scratch a small area number 7 hole in
the pot handle most people look at a pot
and see a hole at the end of the handle
and have no idea why it's there some
people think that it's just for
decoration no that's not the case when
you stir your food while cooking you
don't want to put the dirty spoon down
on the counter you can put the handle of
your spoon into that hole so that the
spoon is held up over the pan where it
won't make a mess
number 8 little arrow next to gas gauge
this is one of the best things you might
not have known this is because it can
help you in your everyday life if you're
like most people you'll likely never
notice the little arrow next to the gas
gauge in your car what seems so small
and insignificant is actually there to
make your life easier the arrow points
to the direction that the gas tank is on
this can be helpful if you're driving a
car that you've never driven before and
you need to put gas in rather than
pulling over before you get to the gas
station you can just look at the arrow
near the gas gauge
