Freshness sealed socks

I remember when all the food started coming in re-sealable bags. The movement started with cheese and I thought that it was pretty cool. Now, everything comes in a resealable bag. I look around and I find that not only does the cheese come in its own ziploc bag, the spinich, the lunchmeat, the cereal, the salad, the crasins, and who can forget the socks also come in their own ziploc bag.

Wait a minute! THE SOCKS!!! Why would someone put socks in a resealable package? To seal in the freshness? Generally speaking, I don’t keep around my sock bags to store my socks in after I open the bag, and generally speaking I don’t want to seal in the “freshness.”

To make this misuse of a ziploc bag worse, the company advertized on the bag of socks that it has a resealable opening. I’m sure that is a great selling point! I know I bought that brand of socks just because they have a resealable package. Gonna go stuff my socks back in the package and seal in the freshness. Wait, maybe I should wash them first.
