Remember when socks used to be made of cotton and the feeling of putting on a brand new pair of socks was מעין עולם הבא?
If you have sensory issues, you can always buy socks marketed for that purpose and recoil in shock and horror when you discover that the manufacturers changed the recipe and the socks are now scratchy and misshapen.
Socks are often made of cotton now (as well as wool and many manufactured fabrics). New socks, feel like, new socks.
“Modal” socks are unbelievably soft. Unfortunately they don’t last too long.
All products require checking labels. As a frum Jew, you are obvious used to the idea of needing to check labels. This does discriminate against those who don’t read English but you obviously can read English.
cotton was once the standard…but that is not the case anymore.
that’s cuz when the slaves were freed the plantation owners couldn’t figure out how to get the cotton picked so we only had enough to last us til recently and that’s it.
Over the past ten years?
Sounds like false advertising.
(On an unnecessary but related note, I wore multi-colored socks for
the first time this past weekend, because someone had opened the
dryer that mine were in and they weren’t ready in time for Shabbos.)Tip: don’t wear any socks
Random: You don’t have an extra pair of socks?
“that’s cuz when the slaves were freed the plantation owners couldn’t figure out how to get the cotton picked so we only had enough to last us til recently and that’s it.”
There are a lot of intelligent, educated, worldly people in the CR. It surprises me that after a week, no one has commented on this statement.
Whether said seriously or not, this is how hatred is spread.
pt, whilst I agree with you that the comment you quoted was very unfair in its negative portrayal of southern plantation owners, I must say that my eved knani is a real sweet guy who does our dishes really well.
The comment was obviously in jest, and plantation-owner-hatred isn’t a thing.
Joseph, I do have multiple pairs of socks, but all except
the ones I was wearing at the time had been washed.Picture this – I can only assume that the intelligent and worldly CR readers understood that it was not a comment on the slaves but rather on the incompetence of the rich pampered slave owners.
Of course on the other hand, the unintelligent or unworldly CR readers might not have understood that… 🙂
(that was a joke, and I have no one specific in mind.).
