    It’s a sheet of chemicals that makes your clothes smell better.

    Downside is it adds a sort of…coating to clothing which for some types of clothing, like wicking sports apparel, makes them less effective.

    They’re absolutely useless and when I learned that I stopped using them and there was literally no negative change in my post-laundry output.

      That makes me think of crockpot liners, which are apperently a thing

      Like, you cook your food, in the plastic. The most pointless thing I’ve seen.

        Sous vide style slow cooking, vacuumized in a bag, had it’s merits as you can’t really do it any other way. This, however is a lazy way to avoid cleaning (like using plastic plates to avoid doing the dishes).

          We aren’t there yet but soon. GenX I bet you’ll see the first person die directly as a result of micro plastics. Boomers, I think cancer has got them for the most part and I’m confident we will solve that riddle in the next few decades

          Slightly related, why does clingfilm smell so strong? I never used it because the taste always went onto whatever I wrapped in it.

      no negative change in my post-laundry output

      What a beautiful phrase, I’m totally gonna nick the term post-laundry output

      If I don’t use a dryer sheet in the winter, my clothes literally stick to me and it is uncomfortable. The static is crazy. In summer its not an issue.
