Corinthian Leather Award: Hanes Cushion Crew Socks

Corinthian Leather Award: Hanes Cushion Crew Socks in not-so-resealable package

This is so cool! My new Hanes Men’s Cushion Crew Socks come in a resealable Ziplock bag — so the last pair will be just as fresh as the first!

Putting socks in a resealable bag is just dumb. Is there a sock buyer in the country who doesn’t simply rip the package apart and dump the entire contents into the drawer? (Or, for those who grew up in the days of flame-retardant jammies, into the washing machine?) Seriously, who saves socks for later?

Silly packaging isn’t enough to merit one of our coveted Corinthian Leather Awards, though, unless you go on and on about it. What cemented the victory here is that the silly packaging is horribly flawed: the resealable package cannot be opened without destroying the bag.
