Back in the ’60s, socks were quite popular. There were Friday night sock hops, where hip teenagers would kick off their shoes and dance in the gym in their socks. Then there was the catchphrase, “Sock It To Me,” which became a counterculture classic after Aretha Franklin added the refrain to her hit songRespectin 1967.
And in the spill containment industry, socks are so important they have a season all their own. In between spring and summer, there’s a fifth season: Sock Season, so named for the states with rising humidity and hurricanes, and the sweating refrigerators and A/C working overtime everywhere as the temperatures soar into the 80s, 90s, and even tripe digits.
