12 Discoveries That Made Us Freeze in Disbelief

Have you ever encountered something that left you feeling very confused? It’s a common experience. Our inquisitive nature persists until we unravel the mystery. Gone are the days when we had to open encyclopedias or consult an expert for answers. Thanks to the internet, we now have a team of online detectives ready to assist. And in the following list, the purposes of some truly enigmatic finds have been swiftly uncovered.

1. ’’What’s this plastic dog with a strange opening at the bottom?’’

Answer: Is it possible that this is a toy that you dress up? I used to have toy mannequins or dolls with a similar flap on the back. You would use a short stick to push fabric into the flap, and it would hold the fabric in place.

2. ’’What’s this magnetized rectangular prism? The surface feels like a hard silicone.’’

Answer: It’s a magnetic learning toy.

3. ’’What’s this glass head thing found in an abandoned house?’’

4. ’’I found this in my old bedroom. What is it?’’

Answer: I vaguely remember getting something like this as a kid. They were called wriggling worms (or something similar). You pour water on them, and they swell/grow into something kind of like a worm.

5. ’’What’s this crystal pillar with one flat spot to lie sideways?’’

Answer: It’s a crystal knife rest.

6. “What is this 6-inch, mini, paddle-shaped wooden item?”

7. ’’I bought these at a thrift store because they were pretty. What are they?’’
