Let's talk about things that we use every day and the secrets they hold. Bread packs' plastic bags and twist types do not come in a rainbow of colors; Based on the bread that is baked each day, they are color-coded.

It's hard to believe that we now use aluminum to wrap our sandwiches, but there was a time when it was more valuable than gold. If we go back to the 19th century, we can see that aluminum was a hard-to-get element because it was hard to get until innovators discovered a way to extract it on a large scale in an industrial setting. After that, aluminum's reign was over. There are tales about the French ruler Napoleon III having an aluminum cutlery set that he served food to his unique visitors.

We might as well discuss the 2009 Time Traveler's Party. Time travelers were invited to hang out by Stephen Hawking, a theoretical physicist.

Scientists also ask this question, and as part of their experiments, they gave horses coats that looked like zebras. The horse's entire body, except its head, was covered by the coat. It turns out that patterns with zebras repel insects. According to scientists, flies avoid the horse's body and only target the animals' heads.
