Ever wondered what that strange little pocket on your jeans is for? Wonder no more

HAVE you ever wondered why on Earth that teeny tiny pocket is standard in most denim jeans?

It’s a weird one, isn’t it? The list of things that are right for this particular pocket size is fairly limited...

1) A pet grasshopper named Terry

2) Putting your last couple of bits of chewing gum in (and then forgetting they’re in there and putting them through the washing machine)

3) Putting a few spare coins in, and then almost dislocating your fingers when you try and wrench them out in a hurry

While most of us seem to simply accept this Weird Little Pocket™ as an inevitable part of fashion, someone with more spare time started a Quora forum thread posing this question.

    The pocket also perfectly held a Zippo lighter.

    Guitar picks, or plectrums, if you will. What else would it be used for?
