That new sock smell July 18, 2006

Posted by Niels in : Personal , trackback

I just bought a six-pack of Hanes Cushion Ankle socks.  Evidently sock technology has come a long way since I last bought socks, because these socks come in a ziplock bag.  The bag even trumpets this fact in large letters: “RESEALABLE BAG”.  Why do socks need a resealable bag?  Do they go stale?  All these years, have my reckless sock care habits been standing between my socks and their fullest potential?

Niels,

In case you have not heard; new studies have shown that it is fundamental and essential to store all socks in sealed ziplock bag type environments after washing them.
