I had vaguely heard about this before--I think during Christmastime field trips to historical sites--but it's nice to see the article go into some detail.
(Although I do object to them insulting socks at the end. We had a Sock Night this Hanukkah because 3/4 of us *asked* for them (Mom got a different piece of clothing that night instead), and the extra-warm winter socks I got are even better than I was expecting. They're so fluffy on the inside! They're like slippers you can sit cross-legged in or stuff inside your snow boots!
And they turned out to be on sale *after* we had already decided we were willing to buy them for full price (full price was CAD$32 for 3 pairs, I think, and sale price was mid-20s), and they're in ace pride colours. (While I don't currently consider being asexual to be a *major* part of my identity, I am ace enough to be amused by this colour scheme.))
