The Downy Ball

As a single man, I’m all for anything that can make doing the laundry easier. I prefer the Tide tablets, even though they’re more expensive. And, yes, I use the Downy Ball. Not that I really understand what The Ball does. It just seems like it does something good. And more, importantly, it’s easy. You just add the liquid to the ball, seal it up, and drop it in. No problem, right?

Wrong.

A lot of my clothes started coming out of the dryer with these odd-looking splotches on them. Where did these mystery stains come from? Did I leave something in my pocket? Was one of my shirts bleeding dye? No. It was that fucking Downy Ball. They were fabric softener stains. Apparently, the Downy Ball doesn’t just soften the fabric, it shits all over your clothes. The Downy Ball sucks.
