Sunburns & Snickers: These Beach Pics Will Make You Thankful for Air Conditioning!

The Case of the Chained Flip-Flops

Here’s something you definitely don’t see every day. One beachgoer took taking care of their valuables to the next level by chaining a pair of flip-flops to what appeared to be bike parking slots. These aren’t just any ordinary footwear; they must hold unparalleled sentimental value, treated with the same reverence as a high-end bicycle.

Beach etiquette might not specify footwear, but clearly, this pair was too precious to risk. Have you ever wondered why they’re named “flip-flops”? It’s all thanks to their sound—a casual “flip-flop, flip-flop” as they slap against the soles of the feet while walking, a case of onomatopoeia.
