(pic from Tumblr) "Reard named his invention the bikini because of the Bikini Atoll nuclear tests. He thought that everyone would be shocked by the risque display of curves and belly buttons. He was right. During many years, the bikini caused more surprise than any of the nuclear tests conducted by the United States and the Soviet Union. The joke at the time was that the "bikini" split the "atom", because it was introduced right after a tiny single-piece bathing suit called the Atome."
With Memorial Day weekend approaching, it's about that time! More history of the bikini found ---> here.
