Buried 2,000 Pairs of Underwear... The Unexpected Result Revealed 5 Years Later

Five years ago, Swiss scientists made a bizarre request to the public.

"Please bury cotton underwear in the ground." Surprisingly, 1,000 citizens participated.

They buried them in places all over Switzerland, including their home gardens, agricultural fields, and grasslands, totaling more than 2,000 pairs of buried underwear.

When dug up two months later, some pairs were almost intact, while others had vanished beyond recognition.

Why on earth did the scientists ask people to bury underwear?

And what was happening in the soil where the underwear disappeared? Videomug took a look at the results of this bizarre five-year experiment.
