Why do consumer advocates allow pantyhose to exist? What other product is there on the market which has a similar life expectancy for an equivalent price? Condoms don’t count. I’m sure men would rather fight a war than buy dodgy socks that lasted 5 minutes. I didn’t think the free market and consumer exploitation were quite the same thing. Would light bulbs with the same built-in obsolence as pantyhose be permitted for instance?
Because there is a demand for the product at the current price.
Hope that helps.
