They do. Download.

If you buy all your socks the same this is not longer a problem until you get to the last one, which probably has a hole by then.

Pints of motor oil.
They do, it's just marketed differently. It's called Guinness

I tried to buy Elton John's Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding from iTunes. You could buy every other song from that album separately, but not that one. To get that song, you had to buy the whole album. Fuck that. I already owned most of the songs from that album because I bought his greatest hits years ago. I just wanted to fill in the one big missing song. They wouldn't sell it to me.

Going back to socks - buy in bulk!
If every sock you own is the same brand and make and age you can pair them with impunity.

How do I know this? I used to work for Dr Solomn's Software (RIP) and we would throw out socks at conventions. The tag? Dr Solomon's Blows Your Socks Off. Really - IT Managers on £60k+ would scramble for them. I was wearing mine (mostly honestly obtained - hey - I was a slim but buxom blonde in those days, did they want me on the stand knowing the product? Hell, yes!) for about 5 years. They outlasted my marriage.

They were hardly designer socks. Just that if'n I kept my toenails trimmed they lasted. And always, always, always matched. And when the ones at the front of the drawer needed to retire, those at the back could take their place.

I read you and love you.
But now you owe me £s for quoting me.

Good loving don't come for free.

Usually Monnie just can't resist the urge of correction and addendum, as illustrated in the last few pages of this thread.
