    Fun fact about Crocs.

    In the movie idocracy, the costume designer chose crocs as the primary style of shoes because they considered to be so ugly only a complete idiot worluld where them.

      I thought people wore them because of how comfy they are, not for the looks

      That is a fun fact! Also add another check on the list of correlations to actual society that make that movie more prophetic than satire.

      Maybe I need to calm down and drink some more electrolytes.

      I wear Crocs because they are functional, for any other reason they’ve long since fallen out of fashion. Combines good insulation with good air flow and they are extremely durable. If being ugly makes me an idiot for wearing them, then I am a complete idiot who deserves his electrolyte laden future.
