I purchased new underwear today. TMI? Or, “About time?”
Those are the general reactions people usually give me to these sort of beginnings. Most most-often heard is, “Why are you telling us that?”
Well, the underwear, a five pack, came in a resealable bag.
Yes, a resealable bag. Said so right there on the front of the package. Like the underwear were cheese, cookies, or chips. Even my cats’ kibble doesn’t have a resealable bag.
My wife and I noodled through explanations for why men’s underwear would be sold in a resealable bag. Perhaps, we reasoned, the bag magically washes them? But wouldn’t that be shown on the bag?
It threw off my plans. I was going to unpack the underwear, wash them, put them in the drawer. But now —
Maybe I should use the bag?

I /think/ they’re trying to be inclusive, in some way; it allows shelters, pantries, and those who make transient bags to divide up the underwear, yet store the unused for next time. I wouldn’t have thought of that, but the food bank director here in town thought it was just so nice when a company started that! (We made “transient bags” for the police dept. to distribute.)
🤷♀️ Or maybe your bag can be reused before sending it to its eventual end, I don’t know. Just tossin’ it out there!
