Kinda Lame

Someone needs to launch an in-depth investigation into the practices of Fruit of the Loom. I’m the type of guy who finds something that works and sticks with it. One of my longest mainstays have been Reebok Classics, I’ve been buying them over and over for ten years. Up until now another was Fruit of the Loom tagless white T-shirts, I like to wear them under my button down shirts, especially after I stopped wearing ties (I have some high chest hair I need to hide).

Honestly, I didn’t buy any new ones for a long time. I kept wearing the same old ones even though they lost their white-ness. But eventually I noticed that the necks had become stretched out and I decided to pick up a few packs. And another admission that I don’t want to make publicly, but some I wore without washing them. Today is one of those days. I thought I got them all but I grabbed one and put it on.

All day I’ve been pulling the back collar part up because it’s been falling, and bugging the crap out of me. Then upon closer inspection I find that the collar is wider than the ones I recently threw out. What gives? It hasn’t even gone through the wash yet, how can this be? How did the others last so long and these new ones stretch when you open the bag?

Congress, Ralph Nader, someone, please help. And don’t get me wrong, I checked them before I paid for them – they weren’t streched before I bought them.

Fruit of the Loom – I want an apology. A personal one.
