Say whatever you will about the Internet, but it comes in handy from time to time. Whenever there’s something we don’t know (and let’s face it, there’s a lot we don’t know), we turn to the Internet for help or advice. There’s a forum on Reddit that has helped people figure out the meaning and purpose behind absolutely random items they’ve found on the street or in their houses. We can learn a lot from one another, and the Reddit forums are a great place to share all our random knowledge—just ask the people who shared the photos below.
#1: Stainless-Steel Soap
We would’ve never guessed what this thing was if it wasn’t for the trustworthy Reddit community. To us, it just seems like a useless ball of metal—a paperweight, perhaps? But the couple who found this item in their kitchen drawer was looking for answers. They didn’t remember buying it, but they knew it must have some kind of purpose.
And they were right! This is a bar of stainless-steel soap. We didn’t even know such a thing existed until now, and now we’re anxious to get one. Stainless steel soap removes the smell of garlic, onion (and other smelly things you peel or touch in the kitchen) from your hands. How brilliant is that?
