50° and Overcast
National Lost Sock Memorial Day is a lighthearted and distinctive occasion celebrated on May 9th. On this day, we bid farewell to the lonely socks that have lost their partners in the unknown abyss. The enigma of where these unpaired socks disappear to is an age-old mystery that has puzzled people for generations. The solution to this puzzle may forever remain unknown, but it won't stop life from moving forward. It's lamentable to lose such a dear and trusted companion as a sock.
On May 9th each year, we commemorate Lost Sock Memorial Day. Despite efforts from inventors dating back to the pre-Tupperware era, mismatched socks remain popular today due to the prevention of separation anxiety. Without these efforts, we wouldn't pause to remember our lost socks.
