If you’re unsure, look it up on Google, or even better, ask around in the online community for the solution. These days, knowledge is at our fingertips because to the digital age we live in, which not only makes it possible for us to study a vast amount of fresh information but also connects us to other people who have interests in common.
Six individuals approached the Internet users and requested their assistance in identifying the objects they had discovered. They received their responses quickly, as was to be expected.
1. Is it trash or is there more to it?
While rummaging through the junk drawer, someone noticed something that caught his eye. This individual called the object a “scoopy doodad” and was curious to find out what it was or if it was just a piece of junk. He described it as being very heavy, unmarked, and having a very little hole on top.
The online community claims that the original Sunbeam Mixmaster included a juicer attachment, which included a bowl that attached to the mixer’s top and an odd-looking item that served as the spout through which the juice would flow. The purpose of the wire portion that is holding the little strainer is to remove the pulp.
A vintage cabinet discovered
Someone opened an old cabinet and discovered an odd device made entirely of glass with tiny holes running the length of it. They were curious to find out more, and fortunately, other users of the internet were there to inform them of their discovery.
This item turned out to be a flower frog that was used to support a vase of flowers. Have you ever witnessed anything like before?
3. A bulky glass item
Someone found a heavy glass object and asked Redditors to help him identify it. It was unmarked when it arrived, and the top had a very little hole. The people on this site knew the solution, as usual.
Perhaps you were surprised to learn that this thing was actually an oil candle.
4. An enigmatic item discovered in a bedroom drawer
A curious thing was found inside the bed drawer, leaving one Reddit member perplexed. Although the bottom seemed to be composed of soft leather or suede, they were unsure of its possible identity.
It was revealed by a user who was knowledgeable about the item’s nature that this is a nail buffer. It’s something I never would have anticipated.
5. What’s concealed beneath the flooring?
One Reddit member was having trouble identifying a silver-colored device that looked like an old-fashioned scissor. They claimed to have discovered the strange object beneath the floorboards of a house built in the 1800s.
Despite its peculiar appearance, it was discovered that this item, which was used to peel the tops off soft-boiled eggs, was widely utilized and a fixture in many homes in the past.
6. An odd discovery in a motel room
A visitor observed something in a hotel room that intrigued him enough to inquire about it with Reddit users. They couldn’t help but wonder why their bedside table had a vertical slot inside of it.
As usual, Redditors were quick to respond to this person, letting them know that a tablet or laptop may be stored in this position.

Frank Fritz, “American Pickers” star, dead at 60 — rest in peace
Fans are devastated at the news that Frank Fritz, the antiques expert who gained fame on the reality series American Pickers, has died at 60.
Fritz, who left the series in 2021, had been suffering from health problems and was hospitalized from a stroke two years ago.
The news was announced by Fritz’s friend and co-star Mike Wolfe, who said that Fritz passed away last night.
“I’ve know Frank for more [than] half my life and what you’ve seen on TV has always been what I have seen, a dreamer who was just as sensitive as he was funny,” Wolfe wrote in a social media tribute. “The same off camera as he was on, Frank had a way of reaching the hearts of so many by just being himself.”
Fritz and Wolfe gained fame as the hosts of the reality TV series American Pickers, which premiered on the History Channel in 2010. The series showed the two “pickers” traveling across the USA, searching for valuable antiques and collectibles in unexpected places.
“We’re looking for amazing things buried in people’s garages and barns,” the show’s opening narration explains. “What most people see as junk, we see as dollar signs. We’ll buy anything we think we can make a buck on.”
“We make a living telling the history of America… one piece at a time.”
The series attracted millions of viewers, becoming one of History Channel’s most popular programs. In its debut year it was the #1 non-fiction series among total viewers and adults 25-54.
While the antiques were often interesting, there’s no doubt it was the chemistry and charisma of the two hosts that kept viewers coming back for more.
In 2021, it was announced that Fritz would be leaving American Pickers after a decade on the hit series. Fritz said the decision was not his own, and that he was pushed out by the network after a back surgery.
“I didn’t leave the show,” he told The Sun at the time. “I finished shooting and then I had a little back surgery and the pandemic came.”
He also suggested that his co-host’s ego was a factor, saying the show had “tilted towards him 1,000 percent.” “I haven’t talked to Mike in two years,” Fritz said. “He knew my back was messed up, but he didn’t call me up and ask how I was doing. That’s just how it is.”
In July 2022, Fritz was hospitalized from a stroke. In 2023, he had a tearful reunion with Mike Wolfe, and the two resolved their purported feud. However, Fritz declined an offer to rejoin American Pickers, deciding to focus on his health.
It’s clear that the two former co-hosts have remained friendly since then, and it seems Wolfe was by his side til the end.
“We’ve been on countless trips and shared so many miles and I feel blessed that I was there by his side when he took one last journey home,” Wolfe wrote on Instagram. “I love you buddy and will miss you so much I know [you’re] in a better place.”
American Pickers remains a staple of the History Channel lineup. Fritz has never officially been replaced as co-host, though series regulars like Danielle Colby, Mike Wolfe’s brother Robbie, and friend and antiques expert “Jersey Jon” Szalay will rotate accompanying Wolfe on his antiquing trips.
Colby also shared her own tribute to Fritz on social media. “Frank, I will miss your ability to make everyone laugh, your love for talking tattoos, your epic collections but what I will miss the most are those little glimpses of vulnerability from time to time,” she wrote.
“Frank, you loved your cat and your momma and we bonded on those things. You will be missed for all of these reasons and so many more.
Rest in Peace Road Dog.”
Rest in peace to the iconic reality TV star Frank Fritz 😢🙏 Please share this story in his memory.
