The Sock Conundrum of 2023 has reached new heights, with an estimated 3.4 billion socks going missing in the United States alone. It's as if the very fabric of society is unraveling, thread by thread.
Our experts have identified the following contributing factors:
- Global Sockflation: The economic instability caused by the overproduction of socks in 2018 has led to a surplus of 2.5 billion units, creating a perfect storm for sock-napping.
- Sock-astrophe 2020: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a surge in sock hoarding, as people stockpiled socks for comfort and protection.
- Climate Change: Rising temperatures and humidity have caused socks to become sentient and flee their owners' feet in droves.
