Curiosity leads to some of the most surprising discoveries. When we ask unusual “what if” questions, we often end up with fascinating results that reveal more about the world around us.
For instance, in Malaysia, a store was left closed for 53 days under extremely humid conditions. When it finally reopened, the leather goods inside had undergone a dramatic transformation, showing just how much the environment affects everyday objects.
Another peculiar experiment involved putting money in a microwave to disinfect it. The outcome was far from expected, proving that not all cleaning methods work the way people hope.
Then there’s the surprising case of dish scrubbers. A low-cost scrubber used for two years looked nearly destroyed, while a high-quality scrubber used for 15 years still remained effective.
These fascinating observations remind us that the simplest questions can sometimes lead to the most unexpected answers. The world is full of curious possibilities—sometimes, all it takes is asking, “what if?”
