Everyone has suffered the misfortune of putting on a load of washing, and losing a sock.
Where do they go?
Following a hunch, the Gorskys conducted an experiment, and confirmed their theory: Missing Socks turn into shaggy dog toothbrushes.
The experiment is pictured below.
Time – 7:30 am
The two socks are photographed. Notice that neither sock is smiling; this is a serious experiment.
2. Time – 7:48 am
Chris Tomkins prepares the socks for washing.
3. Time – 7:54 am
Chris places the socks into the washing machine.
4. Time – 8:03 am
Chris follows the manufacturers recommendations and uses 1 cup of detergent. Note how this is around 9 million times the average household detergent usage per wash.
5. Time – 8:13 am
Chris waits for the washing to finish.
6: Time – 12:42 pm
Chris is still waiting. Washing at home seems to take as long as at the laundromat (see experiment of 13 October 1995).
7. Time – 12:54 pm
Chris removes the washing and discovers that one sock has turned into a shaggy dog toothbrush.
8. Time – 1:00 pm
Liam pulls a funny face to prove the experiment has increased his shaggy dog toothbrush collection.
