Over 5,000 people jumped into the comment section to add their two cents about where socks go, with many saying that the clothing dryer was to blame all this time.
“The dryer is innocent,” said one person.
Another said: “Omg it was the washer, not the dryer. We need to apologise.”
Now that the mystery of the missing socks has been solved, people want to know where other items that mysteriously go missing too.
“Now find out where all the Tupperware goes. I only have lids left,” wrote one person.
Another viewer had a tip on how to actually resolve the missing sock issue.
She writes: “Fun tip: buy a bunch of the same socks so you don’t have to match each to a specific one and if you lose one it won’t matter.”
Another person advised: “This is why I always use a mesh bag when I wash socks. Especially baby socks.”
Next time your socks go missing, you know where to look.
