Not exclusive to frum people but definitely more common among us: combination locks! Think shabbos and carrying…

How are long matches a frum invention? I highly doubt it, Smile

Probably the most Yeshivish invention but I really appreciate not having my husband's hat fall on my lap when driving since we got The Hatkeeper!

This is so cool! Does it work for chasidish beaber hats too?

Shes not talking about the 10" fireplace matches.

She means these: https://www.mekorjudaica.com/p.....ches/

They're about 4-5", long enough to tzind 10+ candles.

Pre-tied tichels! Especially the ones with the built-in wig grip!

I have seen Pre-tied in non-Jewish stores I wonder who copied who.

The built-in wig grip is defiantly a Jewish thing. I asked about it by non-Jewish stores and they where, What never herd of it.

Some of these answers are weird.

Of course non-Jews use plastic tablecloth covers and frozen chopped garlic.

Non-Jews also cook, want to save time mincing, and want to avoid costly tablecloth dry cleaning fees.

I have never seen disposable plastic table covers that go on top of tablecloths in non Jewish stores.
Plastic tablecloths, yes
Rarely, a reusable clear plastic that goes on top of a cloth tablecloth.
Not the disposable clear ones.

Huh? I have no idea what fireplace matches are. I knew what she meant. Again, why would long matches be a frum thing? Ive seen them in different super markets before.

Did anyone write Shein coats for both men and women? I have one and so do my DH and DS. Amazing invention! Keeps us dry on Shabbos.

Did anyone mention Shabbos keys? They were ubiquitous before outdoor combination locks came on the scene.

Clear disposable plastic tablecloths are definitely a frum thing!

Cute story: I have a friend who is a BT from a city that has a very small frum population (without a frum store). When she was single living in New York, when her parents would come visit her, they would buy tons of boxes of the disposable tablecloth covers and bring them back to their city to give as gifts (to their non-frum friends/colleauges)!

Non Jews wear coats with an oversized hood that's designed to fit a hat or a streimel?
