Why so many hits, G? It's a sedative for the tots.

Thanks to this video I learned that there's a second verse to 'I'm a Little Teapot.'

I didn't spend any time at all on this one. The answer is hats.

A panel of international crafts experts agreed based on data collected from all over the world that hats were the most imitated and reproduced object. Shoes ran a close second. May I call your attention to the icons used in Monopoly? A shoe and a hat are the most desirable to use. The cannon and sailboat are not in consideration. I could go on and on but I think the evidence speaks for itself.

I recommend Design Observer check their data. perhaps they slipped the decimal place a few, by a power of three, maybe four. the popularity of the ditty is not linked with the other assertion. Maybe twenty million people just like the lyrics. Or a few people are stacking the hits count on behalf of a major teapot manufacturer, shrug. There are some things we may never know until the harsh light of history is shined upon them.

All this before breakfast. Don't get me started on toasters.
