What We Learned Today?
Today is National Bra Day. Here are some fun facts about the "over the shoulder-boulder holder."
The average bra weighs just 1.6 ounces yet many have over 40 components. Oh, so that's why they cost so much.
Bras range in size from "AA" to "JJ" (otherwise known as the "Whopper".)
When Oprah talked up a well-fitted bra in 2005 sales of the undergarment at Nordstorms increased by 189 %.
John's advice for the day : In a storm, ladies, take off your bras. That's because one woman was killed when her underwire bra was struck by lightning.
