- To control for the placebo effect. -- nm - Ender Jul 27, 19:34

  - laundering ugh. like anyone cares but the reason really that I need so many masks is that I do laundry only like every ten days - amanda Jul 27, 19:13 2

    - (on the main chart, it debuted and peaked at #9 because there was no physical single available until after its airplay began declining.) -- nm - Tim Jul 27, 18:54
