I bought some new underwear

[heyelander]

Picked up a 4-pack of underwear at Sam's the other day. Just opened it so I could wash it. The bag it came in has a big hole in the front so you can reach in feel what the underwear material feels like. I cut the top off the bag to pull them out and notice that the bag has a zipper seal in it if I want to reseal it. This is a great addition to chip bags and such, but why would I want to do that with underwear? Am I supposed to be storing my underwear back in this bag after I wash and wear it? Would anyone on the planet do that? And why does it need a seal at all? It's got a big silver dollar hole in the front of the bag so you can feel the fabric. It's not like I'm locking in the freshness or something. Who looked at this bag and thought "We need to put a zipper seal on this so people can keep this 4-pack of underwear segregated from all their other underwear in their drawer!" Where am I supposed to store this fuckin' bag when there isn't any underwear in it?

I'm really perplexed and somewhat annoyed by this whole thing.

That's in case you want to return them after you wear them.

I know you're joking, but still, I had to cut off a heat sealed strip at the top just to get down to the zipper. There's no way it's not obviously unopened. I'm really put off trying to understand the thinking behind all this.

I thought my thread about buying shoelaces was in a class by itself. I was wrong. It hurts me to acknowledge, but yours is clearly more interesting....not sure if I can top this.

Note to self: Don't buy underwear packages that are missing the heat sealed strip. No matter how much they are marked down.

I have been waiting for YEARS for an update on your underwear status. Thanks for posting!

Are you sure you bought underwear?

Maybe it's underwear shaped fruit.

Maybe it was fruit-shaped underwear. Hopefully for his sake not a pineapple.

Ouch. I've heard cucumber is popular.

Mini-cucumber maybe. This is heyelander, after all.

i stuck my finger through the hole and tested, it's definitely not fruit.

I'll take "things that I shouldn't have been surprised to see in a thread about underwear", for $500 Alex.

The Zipper is so people stop poking holes in the bag to see how soft they are.

What am I supposed to store this in fuckin' bag when there isn't any underwear in it?

Chips?
