The best way to store rubber bands is in a large, airtight prescription pill bottle. It contains them well, and they won’t dry out.

You do not need anything for socks. You just line up two socks that match, and pull down part of the sock from inside of the pair over the other sock as you fold down the socks. You should be left with two socks now properly matched together, and if you did it right, and until you decide to separate them, they will stay together. I thought everyone knew how to fold socks. You can also do this with flimsy gloves too.

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

[@tohrurikku]

@@wilhelmina8843 Did not mean to be condescending, yet I am currently often really tired, in pain, and not feeling well, so I can not pad what I say to make it sound better. For someone to use things that they do not need to is wasting their time and effort and using old tags to match socks are not that helpful. Especially since plastic bread tags are now slowly being replaced with cardboard bread tags. Plus, there is a possibility that the tag will catch on the sock material and pull the material and make them run. When I watched this video I honestly felt bad that there may actually be people who did not know how to fold socks. If I had a camera I would have made a video on how to fold socks, posted it and gave the link instead of the written instructions. I am seriously considering begging a cousin to film me showing how to fold different types of socks so I can post it.

#1 BEST HACK--Ill try to describe as best as possible. I figured it out two yrs ago. If you get at least 3 of those plastic clips and put it under your FLIP FLOPS, Each on top of one another ( Layered ) each in a different direction. It will keep your FLIP flops from separating at the bottom. I add 3 in different directions because one of them usually breaks off in about 6+ months so you have at least backups. I would also keep extra in your car in case you need backups or your friends have issues with their flip flops. Best tip of the year 🎉

[@sandcastle2069]

I recon you don’t have kids or a washing machine? Everyone knows how to fold socks, the problem does not lie there. The problem with socks arrive at the very moment a kid removes his dirty socks. Kids get dirt from head to toe, kids sweat like men and you want their socks thoroughly cleaned to kill the bacteria and get rid of the mud. If you fold socks before putting them in the washer, they do not get cleaned well enough. Socks that are not paired have a tendency to get lost, so bread clips in one way to keep socks together from the second the kid removes his socks.
