## Daily Brief — 2026-05-15
### ✨ Morning
On May 15, 1940, nylon stockings went on sale across the United States for the first time. Du Pont had been teasing the product for years — when they finally hit shelves, Americans bought **4 million pairs in a single day**. Women queued around the block. A fabric made from coal, air, and water had just upended fashion overnight.
🚶 Take a short walk before diving in.
