I never quite understood what those were for…I remember people mocking boomers that still did that (because it was something the generation before mostly did?) but was it to preserve the couches?
It was to preserve the couches. And TBF they did work for that, but they raised the question of why the fuck did you pay for expensive furniture that you never used, and why did you devote a whole room in your house to that shit? The answer is it was for “company”, i.e. visitors you didn’t like and couldn’t wait for them to leave.
Are boomers the ones that had plastic foils over their couches?
