Cop’s Invention Like Handcuffs For Socks
One of the great modern mysteries is one that plagues almost every household: the missing sock in the dryer. Some have given it a name: Missing Sock Syndrome.
A relatively new product aims to prevent Missing Sock Syndrome. The Sock Cop, plastic clips that clip two socks together, was invented by Tampa, Fla., police officer Rich O’Connor.
The clips can withstand temperatures of up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Reed-Granger said the temperatures of most dryers range between 112 and 154 degrees.
Squeeze the clip open to attach it to a pair of socks, then throw into the wash. The couple suggest people keep the clip on when socks are taken out of the dryer to keep them organized in drawers.

That is the best idea i’ve seen and heard of in a long time!!! I love it!!! I am always’ putting one sock in a bin that i call the lost socks. It’s amazing to me how this happens, it never fail’s…every load of laundry i do end’s up claiming one of the sock’s and it’s so frustrating! you search the house thinking you missed a sock when picking up the laundry only to find there is no stranded sock, so the only conclusion is that the washer or dryer ate it.
