In a world where socks go missing at an alarming rate, one question remains: where do they really go in the wash cycle?
Our team of expert researchers (all of whom are wearing matching socks) set out to find the answer.
We conducted an exhaustive study involving:
1. A survey of local laundry facilities
2. A comprehensive analysis of washing machine logs
3. A daring experiment involving a single sock in a washing machine with a camera
Our findings indicate that socks:
1. Do indeed go missing, but only 37% of the time
2. Are more likely to disappear during the rinse cycle than the wash cycle
3. Are not, in fact, being eaten by the washing machine
