You’ve got one. I’ve got one. That mysterious kitchen junk drawer full of... who-knows-what. Birthday candles take the #1 spot—because heaven forbid we buy new ones—and rubber bands are a close #2 (wrapped around nothing, just vibes). But what’s the third most hoarded item in the nation’s junk drawers? Today, we dig into the oddly intimate psychology of the junk drawer, why we keep what we keep, and reveal the surprising third-place contender. Spoiler: it’s something you’ve definitely got right now—and probably haven’t used in years.
