What do everyday objects look like in different parts of the world? - "Everything Ever"
39A look at common objects that many people often take for granted and see how other cultures made them. Today's category is hygiene and personal care items.
Or, to put these items in a more broad category, beauty and fashion cosmetics is also a good label.
The list includes: fans, umbrellas, fly whisks, traditional tooth brushes, a fingernail manicure item, pedicure products, tweezers, razors, ear cleaning items, a perfume sprinkler, incense burners, and a discussion about skin creams, balms, moisturizers, and etc. The example for this in our video being the famous Shea Butter which is not only a great skin care product but is also used in traditional medicines and soaps. Hair care is also briefly mentioned.
Is there anything we missed in today's video? Look around your own home, and if you find something leave a comment. Being surrounded by so many products and services nowadays, we might not even think about how they were made in the past. Many everyday things around the world were designed totally different from the items we are used to. Isn't it exciting when ordinary things turn out to be completely unusual from what we expect?
