Loops In The Frame Of A Grocery Cart
The makers of these relatively simple carts are more forward-thinking than we’ve given them credit for. While our checkers and baggers may not realize it, the metal loops that frame the top fold out area of our grocery carts serve a purpose: to hang your bags with light things like bread and eggs from so they don’t get squashed among your heavier items. To make your grocers’ lives easier, do them a favor and show them how it’s done next time.
The Half-Belt
Originally designed for troops in the military who wore enormous jackets that doubled as blankets, half-belts are now commonly found on trench and pea coats. The half belt’s sole purpose is to gather excess material and keep it in place so that soldiers can walk freely.
