Time Release Socks

 

Here’s the thing, I purchased 20 pairs of socks. All on the same date, from the same company, from the same batch and lot.

Now, exactly the same number of days later, each and every sock has worn through on the heal. 

I have rotated the wearing of these socks, I have staggered their use and have, on occasion, opted to be random in the choosing of which pair to wear.

Note:  These are black socks and the drawer from where they are selected is dark, although I can attest, based on the laundry schedule, that never the same sock has been worn twice in a row.

My question to you is:  How can this be?  How can a sock manufacturer design precise timed failure into every pair?

 

I smell a rat.
