    That’s the same energy as flour companies making floral patterned burlap bags during the great depression because people were using them to make clothes.

      You can’t store flour in burlap bags LMAO.

      Do you know what flour and or burlap is?

      But yes, flour sacks were a popular source of clothing, so the flour companies printed patterns on them.

      Wasn’t it the other way around? I was certain it was: Floral patterns > clothes > mills kept on using those
