In 1945, engineer Percy Spencer was testing a radar magnetron at Raytheon when the chocolate bar in his pocket turned to mush. Curious, he aimed the tube at popcorn kernels, and they popped.

In 10th-century Persia, cavalrymen wore heels to lock into stirrups while shooting bows on horseback. When the look reached 17th-century Europe, aristocratic men adopted tall heels as a status flex — proof they did not do muddy fieldwork. Louis XIV even decreed red heels for his court. Women's fashion only later claimed the silhouette. So the original high heel was a riding tool and a power signal, not a runway accessory.
