Aglet. Not Phineas & Ferb. Terraria.
Aglet - phineas and ferb
Aglets.
And their true purpose is sinister.
What's their true purpose?
Aglet. Archie comics did a bit on them, that's where I learned
Shoes.
Shoes, with the Aglets of the laces resting upon them.
Aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.
They're aglets. I believe Phineas and Ferb is a cartoon, but I've never seen it.
🎶 A, G, L, E, T, Aglets! Don't forget it 🎶
^^^One word at a time^^^
Aglet - Jimmy Neutron
Aglets, if you’re talking about the ends on the laces, and please update why you’re asking lol
My thinking is that the aglet is a well known word these days, but if you were to poll a group, it would be mostly younger people who know what it is. Because of Phineas and Ferb.
I'm glad so many people responded and most people got it right! But, I'll have to do a real poll to figure out if there's any actual correlation here, and also account for the fact that people who know what it is were more likely to answer than those who don't.

Aglets.
Laces.
Sneakers.
Shoes? Maybe Reeboks?
Edit: I am appalled by how many people know the term aglet.
This is the result I was hoping for
OP, they’re obviously called aglets.
Didn’t Phineas and Ferb teach you anything?
Exactly the point I'm trying to prove 😉
