Things You Might Not Know

Have you ever wondered why most zippers have the letters “YKK” on them? well is stands for a Japanese company called Yoshida Kogyo Kabushikikaisha. This company makes anything and everything that is the zipper, hence why their company abbreviation is on almost all zippers. Now have you ever noticed how much cats hate water? Well, that’s because they aren’t used to it. So if they are introduced to water and baths within the first 15 months of their life, they won’t hate it. However it is quite unorthodox to give a cat a bath though, because cats clean themselves. But, they also don’t like water because the water on their fur feels cold and heavy on them. Have you ever wondered about ice and why it is sticky (so to speak)? In terms of sticky, I mean how it sticks to your skin and tongue. The first factor is the ice cube’s temperature, the colder the ice cube, the more likely it is to stick. The other factor has to do with your hands and their moisture. If your hands are even slightly sweaty, this will cause the ice to stick to your hands. This won’t last long though, just for a few seconds though.
