When I was a little boy, every kid’s jeans were too long so the legs had to be doubled up into cuffs at the bottom. Anything else would have been tres uncool. I had to learn to empty them out outside the house when I came home so my mother wouldn’t yell at me for bringing in all the dirt. Never regarded them as a source of snacks, though.But I give Dill credit for sharing.
Crumbgutters! Yes! Of course I had them when I was a kid, although I didn’t think to value them as a source of snacks, a.k.a. nom noms; mostly, they held lint, dust, dirt, and unspeakables rather than cookie fragments….
Anyone who has worn a cummerbund (properly) knows that you wear it with the folds pointing up, not down. That’s so you can catch the crumbs from your fancy meal and save them for later.

Sorry if this was inappropriate. I couldn’t resist ;)
