Those little connectors have nothing to do with security. They're used to attach labels to fabric without punching a hole in it. Or in this case, to hold the socks together during packaging so they don't slide all over the place and come unfolded. (I worked in production at a quilt and cold-weather clothes factory)

Life is never as simple as one might want it to be. Even though most of us have a decent grasp of physics, as far as our own bodies are concerned, the universe still finds ways to remind us that even the most tiny little things can end up causing a lot of pain. Take, for example, the simple papercut.

The word alone is normally enough for most folks to have a visceral reaction. Some might shudder, others cringe at the idea of running a finger along the edge of a sheet of paper. For those who have never had to go through this, congrats. Simply put, the edges of paper, while fragile, are quite sharp and, as it turns out, we tend to have to manipulate paper with our hands.

One might ask, why do papercuts hurt that much? After all, there is nothing “mild” about one. Most would see it as the main tragedy of the day. In short, it’s a case where our own bodies work against us. Papercuts, mercifully, are often very shallow. The downside is that this means the finger’s pain receptors are exposed to the air without blood to help limit the pain.

Not to mention, your fingers tend to have a lot of sensory receptors, after all, we can obtain a huge amount of information from just touch. In general, this is a good thing most days. However, when cut with a piece of paper, all those helpful little receptors are screaming at our brain that, actually, there is a major issue going on here.

To add more insult to injury, most commercial paper is treated with chemicals such as bleach. One doesn’t have to be a medical expert to realize just how uncomfortable, say, bleach can be if it gets in a wound. At the very least, the humble papercut serves as a reminder that even the smallest things can find a way to inflict a lot of discomfort.

They were both the same price so it only made sense. Didnt realize until i got home. Thought it was fine cause i had to get tums, to find the same thing… and find another associate. Finding someone took about 5mins. The funny thing is they just hand it over right after and let you take it to the front.

I'm not even sure if it was on purpose or just happen because they bought the cheapest beer cups they could find with their label printed on it... But they were cheating nonetheless. Also I filled the cup slightly above the 250 mark just to be "fair". But still only 227ml at the mark.
