Did You Know The Hidden Purposes Of These Everyday Household Items?

Handy Tabs

This square patch on bags often reminds people of an animal, so pig snout is one of its famous names. However, its actual title is ‘lash tab,’ and it isn’t solely for decoration. Originally made from leather, the patches were added on outdoor backpacks so that a string could pass through so equipment could get fastened.

Over time, manufacturers used different materials like rubber and plastic instead of leather. The small square material now gets used to attach flotation devices because of its waterproof variation. With this newfound knowledge, it’s hard to look at these little tags the same way again.
