I (50M) did this religiously until my wife disabused me of the notion that it was necessary to prevent ruining your clothes. This was only within the last ten years.

I'm not trying to hold my wife up as some generational spanning genius or anything. She is (by her own admission) very, very lazy. Separating clothes into colors is too much work.

As a child of the 80's during the "air popped popcorn is the solution to all your weight loss problems" I strenuously disagree with the notion that air-popped popcorn fits the "delicious" criteria of this question.
