My Feet Don't Stink!

My feet are well taken care of--thanks to my socks. I bought some socks today and before I discarded the package, something caught my eye. It said "Ultra-Fresh" in a big, green oval, and in small writing underneath "Antimicrobial Protection". The purpose of this, I learned upon further reading, is 'to prevent the growth of odor-causing bacteria'. Well, isn't that special?

These are sport socks, by the way, so I guess they figure you're actually using them for sport. They don't make sit-and-type-on-your-computer socks, so I went with the sport ones. I think everyone should take a closer look at what the sock people have taken the time (or WASTED the time, in some cases) to print on the package. First of all, my sport socks fit feet sized 4 to 10--thank god they don't make shoes that way! (The store took a step into reality and labelled them for size 9 to 11.)

There is also something called 'Lycra 3D' in my socks, which is supposed to 'help keep the size, shape and fit' of the socks. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't your FEET do that?

All these things, by the way, are listed as the 'features' of the socks. My socks have features!!
Besides all this, there are the typical washing instructions, the last of which is DO NOT IRON. Are there really people who iron their socks? Do they hang them back on their little black sock hangers after?
