Third Greatest Invention

Ok, so some of you are new to the Miscellaneous Thoughts, so I'll recap the Greatest Inventions thus far:
1. The Kleenex Box
2. The Spork

And now for the unveiling of the third greatest invention of all time:
Tagless shirts.

So I was going through my drawer, selecting an undershirt to wear for the day, and it dawned on me that the idea of tagless is relatively new. Why it took so long for the t-shirt companies to come up with this, I have no idea. But it is here. And it is glorious.

Tagless. A concept so brilliant, so revolutionary, that it belongs in the pantheon of great ideas, such as the Kleenex box and the spork. And although it is relatively new, I believe that it will stand the test of time and mature into a truly inspirational concept worthy of such praise.

Hanes launched the tagless t-shirt in 2002, along with a new era in comfortable clothing.
I imagine the summit where the tagless development was created like the Manhattan Project. The highest experts in the field of textiles and various departments of attire, in a dark room underground in some undisclosed location, sitting around a huge circular conference table. Everything done in a clandestine manner, as to not alert the evil Fruit of the Loom of their plans for t-shirt domination. It was there that tagless was born.

And tagless will forever be remembered, as it sits at the number three spot in the most important inventions ever devised by the human mind. Hanes, we salute you.
