Why do socks come in packages of six if there are seven days in a week?

yeah, and that's with men's/boy's underwear too. maybe they know men don't always change socks and undies every day. lol

And on the seventh day, God went barefoot. He saw his barefeet, and said it was good. This shall be the barefoot day, he said. And so it was.

It's a never ending cycle. Because there is six in the packet, you have to go and buy another packet. But then you realise that there is only 12 for the fortnight, so you go and buy more and more and more.

It's how the sock companies stay in business.

Great question.... Marketing strategy of course... Just like when I went to buy party supplies for my sons birthday... every package had a different # of items in it, so of course I had to buy more than I needed!
