It's a mystery that has plagued humanity for centuries: what happens when you lose a sock in the wash? Is it a conspiracy? A plot by the Sock Goblins of the world? Or is it simply a case of one's own ineptitude?
This study aimed to get to the bottom of things.
The results were inconclusive, but our research team did discover that 9 out of 10 people who participated in the study were unable to find their matching sock.
But fear not, dear reader! For we also found that the remaining 1 in 10 people who found their matching sock were all avid collectors of novelty socks.
It's a start, right?
