Soda Can Tab
The top of a soda can is as recognizable to most of us as the back of our hands. You may have overlooked one element of the soda can tab despite having consumed soda hundreds, if not thousands, of times in your life. The tab has another purpose besides occasionally breaking off into the can and ruining the rest of your drink.

The tab on the top of soda cans was made to be flipped over and used as a straw holder. Right, who knew? Despite this handy feature, most of us avoid using straws while drinking from a can, if not for the sake of the environment, then because they’re flimsy inside the can and it’s more pleasant to sip straight from the can. However, using the tab to keep your straw in place makes great sense.
Hole In Cap Of Ballpoint Pens
We’ve all used ballpoint pens since we were in grade school. Have you ever wondered why your cap has a hole in it? The company, on the other hand, carefully placed that hole there. No, it’s not because it dries up faster, causing you to purchase more pens. The hole in the top is there in case a child or adult swallows the cap accidentally. If this happens, air can flow through the cap due to the hole, allowing the unlucky fellow who swallowed the cap to breathe.
Hole In Cap Of Ballpoint Pens
If you’re wondering what kind of grownup swallows the top of a pen, keep in mind that many adults have the unfortunate habit of swallowing pen caps. It only takes one incorrect move to choke on the cap by accident. You’re free to believe in conspiracy theories about companies drying out pens on purpose, but just know that the company designed the pen with your safety in mind.
