Appendix C: The Fashionable Futility of Fanny Packs

Fanny Packs: A Brief History of Futility

In a bold attempt to defy the laws of fashion and physics, the fanny pack was invented by some poor soul who clearly never saw the rise of the backpack.

Originally intended as a utilitarian alternative to the cumbersome backpack, the fanny pack quickly devolved into a symbol of desperation and poor life choices.

Despite its dubious reputation, we here at FannyPack Inc. are committed to reviving this most fashionable of waist-mounted carryalls, even if it means ignoring the laws of gravity and common sense.
