Disappearing Socks: Urban Myth or Domestic Reality?
Today, we're tackling a topic that's both mysterious and widespread. As you've probably guessed, we're going to try to solve the mystery of disappearing socks. Just like us, you've probably noticed that one of your socks has lost its soulmate after a wash, and it's often impossible to get your hands (or feet!) on its other half. And then the dilemma arises: throw it away? Keep it in the drawer? Remarry it with another sock that's been declared single?
We then carried out our investigation to understand what could be happening at the heart of the drum. And different theories exist...
THE SHOE-EATING
Some people, after losing socks repeatedly, have actually decided to believe that the machine was responsible and was cruelly feeding on little socks. But it seems that this is not very serious...
THE RUNAWAY
Another explanation (a bit more realistic) would be that the socks simply disappear between the drum and the door, where there is a small plastic gap, into which the smaller socks slip... but what are they leaking?
THE ACCUSED E
However, scientific studies tend to refute the responsibility of our washing machine (we have doubts about its innocence) and declare that it is often a disappearance due to our inattention. So we are accused!
But between socks falling between the wall and the washing machine, socks separated and put in different colored dirty laundry baskets, bad associations when folding clean laundry, and socks falling off the washing line and blown away by the wind... It is true that we should be entitled to our share of responsibility in this story at the heart of our socks.
So… Go take a look behind your washing machine, and come tell us which version you believe in!
