You know, Big Ben in London, as we call it, is not the name of the tower.

You know, Big Ben in London, as we call it, is not the name of the tower.

If it comes to the famous landmark of London,

Can't escape, Big Ben.

But you know, the truth is,

It's not the name of the tower as we understand it.

But the name of what's in it.

Who's already seen the real Big Ben.

Comment, share us how it is.

... Read moreหลายคน (รวมถึงเรา) เวลาเห็นหอนาฬิกาสุดไอคอนิกของลอนดอนก็มักจะเรียกติดปากว่า “หอนาฬิกาบิ๊กเบน” หรือ “Big Ben” แต่ความจริงที่ทำให้หลายคนอึ้งคือ Big Ben ไม่ใช่ชื่อของหอคอยนะคะ/ครับ—มันเป็นชื่อ “ระฆังใบใหญ่” ที่อยู่ด้านในหอคอยต่างหาก แล้วหอคอยชื่ออะไร? ปัจจุบันชื่อทางการคือ Elizabeth Tower (เอลิซาเบธ ทาวเวอร์) ตั้งอยู่ติดกับอาคารรัฐสภาอังกฤษ (Palace of Westminster) ริมแม่น้ำเทมส์ เพราะฉะนั้นถ้าใครกำลังหาข้อมูลว่า big ben คือ อะไร หรือ the big ben หมายถึงอะไร คำตอบแบบสั้นๆ เลยคือ “ชื่อระฆัง” แต่คนทั้งโลกนิยมใช้เรียกทั้งหอคอยและนาฬิกาไปด้วยจนกลายเป็นภาษาพูดที่คุ้นเคย ถ้าอยากไปเช็กอิน “หอนาฬิกาที่ลอนดอน” ให้ได้ภาพสวยๆ เราแนะนำจุดฮิตเหล่านี้: - Westminster Bridge: มุมคลาสสิก เห็นหอคอยเต็มๆ และได้ฟีลเมืองลอนดอนสุดๆ (โดยเฉพาะช่วงเช้าคนจะน้อยกว่า) - ฝั่งตรงข้ามริมแม่น้ำ (ใกล้ London Eye): ได้มุมกว้าง ถ่ายรวมแม่น้ำเทมส์แล้วภาพดูอลังการ - Parliament Square: เหมาะกับคนที่อยากได้ภาพใกล้ๆ พร้อมฉากอาคารรัฐสภา ทริคเล็กๆ จากประสบการณ์คนไปเดินแถวนั้น: ถ้าไปช่วงเย็นจนถึงค่ำ ไฟที่หอคอยจะเปิดทำให้หน้าปัดนาฬิกาดูเด่นมาก ภาพจะสวยคนละฟีลกับตอนกลางวันเลย และถ้าชอบภาพแบบ “หอนาฬิกาลอนดอน” ที่ดูคลีนๆ แนะนำให้เลี่ยงเวลารถแน่นบนสะพาน (เช่นช่วงเลิกงาน) อีกเรื่องที่คนชอบค้นหาเกี่ยวกับ “หอนาฬิกาประเทศอังกฤษ” คือเข้าไปข้างในได้ไหม—โดยทั่วไป Elizabeth Tower ไม่ได้เปิดให้เข้าชมแบบนักท่องเที่ยวทั่วไปตลอดเวลา (มักมีข้อจำกัด/รอบพิเศษ) แต่บริเวณรอบๆ เดินเที่ยวได้สบายมาก แถมยังต่อไป Westminster Abbey หรือเดินเลียบแม่น้ำต่อได้ สรุปง่ายๆ: ถ้าคุณตั้งใจจะเล่าให้เพื่อนฟังแบบถูกต้อง ให้พูดว่า “ไปถ่ายรูปที่ Elizabeth Tower (ที่คนเรียกกันว่า Big Ben)” ก็ได้ทั้งความถูกและความเข้าใจตรงกันค่ะ/ครับ ใครเคยไปเห็นของจริงแล้วรู้สึกยังไง—เสียงระฆังหรือบรรยากาศแถวนั้นเป็นยังไง มาแชร์กันได้เลย

A red Tower28 spray bottle and a white Walgreens Cleansing Spray bottle are shown side-by-side, comparing their prices and sizes, with a question about the Walgreens product being a dupe.
Close-ups of ingredient lists show the Walgreens spray contains hypochlorous acid from sodium hypochlorite and phosphoric acid, while the Tower28 spray contains salt, which is noted as a key difference affecting soothing properties.
The image compares the spray nozzles, highlighting that the Tower28 nozzle creates a fine, wide mist, whereas the Walgreens nozzle produces a direct, jet-like spray.
Is this a dupe for Tower28?! 😱
I am obsessed with the Tower28 spray, so I wanted to try this dupe from Walgreens!! Overall Differences: - Walgreens is $2.40 per oz - Tower28 is $7 per oz - Tower28 spray contains salt - Walgreens spray tells the % of each ingredient - Walgreens has a jet like direct spray nozzle that is
