Ball bearings

Ball bearings are used in so much machinery, to keep things running smoothly. During WWII Allied bombers specifically targeted Germany ball bearing plants. They knew that without ball bearings the Nazi war machine wouldn't be able to produce any more airplanes, tanks, buzz bombs, or thankfully fighter jets.

Take a good, long look at your refrigerater. I mean, think about it!! Without refrigeraters, we wouldn't be abled to enjoy foods like meats, cheeses, dairy products, fruits, and more because they'd rot just sitting on your counter! C'mon, the refrigerater is pretty sweet!
