"Wow another 253 orders for more socks! This is such great news for me and my 7 dogs"
Have we not been baptized by cheap socks our entire existence?

What the fuck is happening?
Is this what end-stage capitalism looks like?
-
Yes, this is actually the first time a luxury good that's a bit silly has ever been sold.
Historic moment here and definitely not the norm.

Not by a long shot.
But this is a major company and it's got a lot of cultists who will buy it.
Also, $250 for a sock is a pretty notable example of end-stage capitalism and worth pointing out.

Nah, that was $1000 stick.

No matter. Apple fans will do as their told and soon be lining up at the Apple stores, wallet in hand.
-
And next year they'll wait in line for iSock 2 Pro that's double the price.

So if I buy a bulk pack of knee high hanes and cut some holes in it, you think I can slap some old apple stickers on the side and sell them to apple people?
It's just a question. -

It's a silly product.

"It feels like Apple is testing the limits of brand loyalty."
Brand loyalty is not a concept that should exist. Stop it.

Oh wow this thing is real? I saw a post about this the other day and assumed it was a shit post. Damn they're not even trying anymore.
