Why Are Bathtubs So Small? The Answer Is More Complex Than You Might Imagine

If you're a human of average size, taking a bath isn't always as relaxing as it sounds—especially when your legs are sticking halfway out of the water. The problem? Bathtubs are too small. But why?

    Tl;dr:

    Bathtubs started small due to size constraints of rooms, but got smaller because it’s cheaper to manufacture and handle smaller tubs.

        Vocab lesson.

        It doesn’t sound complex at all. But it is complicated, by the use of an entire article to explain it when two bullets do the trick.

        Complex is natural, complicated is some effort’s effect on a thing
