Status: offline 		Why "YKK" is on pretty much all zippers, plus other fastener history. I must confess that when the clothespin appeared on screen my mind went to other places and I didn't catch the end of the video. ;)

Seems YYK is the initials of the company which makes metal zippers and fasteners.

Status: offline 		I think the fucking point was the YKK shows up on every fucking thing with a zipper, no matter who it is manufactured by.

I could be fucking wrong though.

Not fucking likely though...

It's actually the reverse. While zippered items may be manufactured by one place, sans zipper, almost all of the zippers are manufactured by YKK (Yoshida Kogyo Kabushikikaisha).

Status: offline 		I know its the manufacturers thing.....it has always been amazing to me that one company has such a grip on one market though.  YKK zippers are on everything.

Of course, I am easily fucking entertained.

eta no sisters need to be harmed in the making of this thread!

Status: offline 		heather and i did a quick check of the shit we have out (we are unpacking from one fucking trip and packing for another) and of 6 pairs of jeans, 4 shorts, 1 pair of slacks and a pair of men's dress pants, 2 sweaters, 4 coats, a suitcase, a laptop bag, a backpack, a cooler bag, and a tote bag, only 3 items have ykk zippers, so they aren't really all that fucking universal.

maybe its got to do with the quality of the stuff, none of ours is fucking designer shit.

eta not even if she likes being hurt

Then it is a strategic target: when that company stops producing zippers, civilization will fall! Imagine all them trousers and coats and bags and suitcases without zippers.
