I'm testing something. It should show up with a lil shortlink leading back to the original post. If you can read this, then it worked. If you can read this, like or comment, and your like and comment show up on my original post then it worked even better than I thought!

#linklog: "Your Backpack Got Worse On Purpose"

From the piece: "YKK makes the best zippers on earth. They're Japanese, they cost more per unit, and brands that care about longevity use them because a zipper failure kills a bag faster than fabric wear. On VF Corp's lower-tier models, YKK hardware got swapped for generic alternatives. A few cents saved per unit across millions of bags." I knew it! #

Your Backpack Got Worse On Purpose
