Many of us probably used to feel like detectives looking inside different things to find out what was in them when we were kids. And that’s no surprise — it’s so much fun! Even for grown-ups, learning about our world is a big adventure, especially when it comes to looking at everyday items from a completely different angle.

We at Now I’ve Seen Everything want to bring you some of that child-like joy with these 18 objects that hide some pretty curious things from us.

1. “The inside of my daughter’s snap bracelet is from a tape measure.”

2. What the inside of a gas pump looks like

3. “US banknotes are actually slightly color-coded. I boosted the saturation in the pic.”

4. A cross-section of a whale rib

5. It’s unexpected to find a piece of an old toothpaste box in a phone case.

6. USB cable

9. “I found 3 fortunes in 1 fortune cookie.”

10. “Well, they aren’t wrong. What’s inside the platypus dog toy?”
