If you've been reading this list closely so far, you're probably expecting to see a quote from the CEO of a company who sells irons here, complaining that millennials don't have irons in their homes. We don't have any such quote, and we think most millennials probably do own irons - but they just don't have as much call to use them anymore. Because they don't get used, they don't get replaced - and that means fewer irons are being bought.
Millennials aren't too lazy to iron; they've come up with another solution to the problem of wasting hours pressing clothes until they're flat. There are a lot of modern clothes which don't need ironing. On top of that, we have sprays which get rid of creases, and dryers which also claim to do the same. Technology is making ironing unnecessary.
