There are many things that are so commonplace and normal these days (we take them for granted), but they have a fascinating history behind them.
I remember there were once a series of documentaries about these things, among which I remember some produced by National Geographic (if I recall correctly). And I think they aired a couple of years ago.
Currently, I haven't seen if these types of documentary series are still airing, but I guess I haven't looked them up properly. They're interesting and provide entertaining historical insight. Sometimes they even have quite a few curious or funny details, although that depends on the style and handling of the production company.
