Not all dirty socks are created equal.
To the untrained eye, a sock may simply be clean or dirty. But after years of careful observation, extensive field research, and a frankly concerning amount of personal experience, Sindy knows there’s much more to it than that.
Discoloration. Wear. Age. Aroma. Flavor.
These are the characteristics that separate an ordinary sock from something truly special.
A bright white sock fresh from the laundry? There’s not much to get excited about. Give that same sock some mileage, however, and things start getting interesting. A little discoloration develops. The heel and sole begin showing wear. It gains character. Eventually, if you’re patient, you might have something worthy of Sindy’s full attention.
And yes, according to Sindy, flavor matters too. As she puts it, a dirty sock is an acquired taste.
Fortunately, all this highly questionable research has a practical purpose. It can help you understand one of the most important parts of SIN Soda: Sock Run.
Know Your Socks. Know Your Score.
As Sindy races through Sock Run, the socks she collects aren’t all worth the same number of points.
Clean Socks — 5 Points
Bright, relatively pristine and seriously lacking in character. They’ll add to your score, but Sindy knows you can do better.
Dirty Socks — 10 Points
Now we’re getting somewhere. Visible wear and discoloration make these considerably more valuable.
Really Dirty Socks — 15 Points
The prize of the dirty-sock world. Heavily worn, thoroughly discolored and packed with character. When you see one, grab it.
So the next time you’re playing Sock Run, don’t just see another sock floating ahead of Sindy. Look closely. Years of wear, questionable aroma and untold adventures may be represented by those precious little pixels.
And remember Sindy’s most important lesson:
“Anybody can find a clean sock. The good ones take work.”
