Always Wondered - Why Are Men’s Shirt Button on the Right, and Women’s on the Left?

from Always Wondered

In this episode, we delve into the wardrobe mystery that’s been battling us for generations.  Why are men’s shirt buttons on the right, while women’s are on the left?  Also - we’re serving up the confusing story of who invented the ice cream cone.  Grab a napkin, because the answer is kind of messy!  Plus - why do we call the hottest stretch of the year “the Dog Days of Summer”? Do we blame a pack of ornery Labradoodles, or is it something else entirely?  Join host Rick Peterson as he answers more of the questions you’ve Always Wondered about.
