Actually, the answer was "clothes". I kind of didn't expect that answer. He just loved having clothes. He kept hunting for food in the traditional way, but in T shirt and pants.

Women keep telling everyone how wonderful pockets are, but manufacturers don't think we deserve them.

Don't you think  manufacturers know what sells? Smiling  That reminds me of people who complain about the news.
It's not just news anymore. But they are giving people what they want.

Every woman I know wants pockets.  We all want a pocket that our phone will fit in and not fall out.  So, to answer your question, I think manufacturers sell what fashion dictates. If I was a designer I would create a line of clothing for women of ALL SIZES AND SHAPES , that looked good and had deep, functional pockets.

These businesses have bean counters who study these things in greater detail than we can imagine.

No doubt and most women buy what fashion dictates.

Sounds like a great opportunity for a new women's line of clothing "PMS Brand" - Pockets Made Standard

They do because that's what's available. The truth is, though, if say, I am going to go buy some new pants, I have to go through the entire selection in my size to maybe, emphasis on maybe, find some with pockets.  I'm looking for pockets.  But I'm not finding.  What I find is little joke pockets that won't hold a set of car keys, or even pretend pockets. Pockets that don't exist and are just sewn on as accents.  There's no pocket there.  Now, I can't really vote with my pocketbook, because I don't really have any options unless I start wearing mens pants.

They aren't giving me what I want!  And many women I know say they want pockes also. There is an assumption that women don't need pockets because they have a purse.  The only reason I carry a bag, and it's quite small, is because I have no pockets!!

I think manufactures sell what makes them money. That doesn't always correlate to what many people want. So we're left with the question do I buy what's available or do I do without. And I'm pretty sure their bean counters are very aware of this.

I think it does correlate to what people want. These manufacturers have to compete with each other. If any of them knew of a market that was not being fulfilled they would jump on it.
Juniper could be right. Maybe the entire multi billion dollar industry is blind to what people really want. Or maybe she's overestimating how many people are like minded.

You're right most of the time. It just isn't always true.

I'm thinking everyone is busy enjoying the weather or at least taking advantage of it. So that's why no one is here today.

Nice thought. No one's been here for a couple of days at least.
