Origin[]
Charles Macintosh was a Scottish chemist who invented waterproof fabric, and is the creator of the material used to make raincoats. He created the initial fabric by cementing two types of cloth together using natural rubber treated with a by-product of tar, naptha.
Effects[]
When the socks are worn, they will repel all water and liquids from the user's body. Even the moisture in the air will be repelled. If worn too long, the socks may cause dry skin, scratchy throats, or dehydration.
Collection[]
Collected by Claudia Donovan after seeing it in an infomercial. When the product announcer tried to show off the "amazing" cleaning power of her product by pouring it on the socks, the socks simply repelled the liquid.
