The speaker discusses various everyday objects and their hidden purposes.
1. Cookies: The holes in cookies are not just for decoration. They allow steam to escape during baking, keeping the cookie crispy and without moisture inside.
2. Margins: The margins in school notebooks were originally left empty to prevent rats from chewing on the edges of books.
3. Chefs' hats: The tall white hat worn by chefs is a symbol of hierarchy and elegance, indicating who is in charge in the kitchen. It also prevents cooks' sweat and hair from becoming another ingredient in the dish.
4. Tire color: The black color of tires was not always the case. In 1885, the rims were white. However, manufacturers added carbon to the production process, making the tires black and five times more resistant than the white ones.
5. Hanging shoes: The practice of hanging shoes from cables varies by country. In the USA, it's associated with crime and gangs, while in Germany, it's seen as street art. In Latin American countries, it represents a school achievement or future marriage.
6. Public bathroom space: The space that leaves "see your feet" in public bathrooms is designed to help a person inside see if the cubicle is occupied and to prevent bad smells from getting locked in.
7. Boxers: The opening in the front of men's underpants was added in 1925 to make it easier for men wearing dress pants to urinate. However, with the popularization of jeans in the 50s, the zipper on denim became more rigid and uncomfortable, leading to the decline in the use of boxers.

7. The speaker is discussing the purpose of chefs' hats. The hat was created by the renowned chef Marc and Antoine in 1800 to look more appropriate for royalty.

8. The speaker is discussing the color of car tires. The black color of the tires has a hidden purpose.

The manufacturers listened to them and decided to add carbon to the production, making the tires black and five times more resistant than the white ones.

In the USA, it is related to crime and gangs because it is believed that they throw their shoes at the cables to mark a territory or to commemorate some of their fallen members.

In some Latin American countries, they are used to represent a school achievement or a future marriage.
