Mine is this little tidbit about Khaki’s from https://www.heddels.com/2019/05/history-khaki-anything-drab/
“Tried and tested by all the major powers, khaki-dyed, lightweight cotton twills became the de facto uniform for any colonizing power. If you were going to ship your boys abroad to pillage and conquer someplace in the Southern Hemisphere, khaki was your go-to color.”
I have one from the 50s/60s(?) that will gradually let two slices of toast up, but if you have only one piece of toast and you put it in the wrong slot, it will literally fly out of the toaster.
I had to move the fridge after losing several pieces of toast between it and the counter before I learned what was going on. Was very confused about missing bread and the cat was a prime suspect.
