Why….

….can’t they sell just a plain old Ace (type, I don’t care what brand really) bandage?  They’ve got specalty braces and supports and everything else for every joint, but no ace bandages.  I have bought 3 at variious times over the last few years and they all disappear into a black hole, and now I can’t find them in the store either.

edited to add: I didn’t exactly search high and low, two stores was my limit and I ended up with this “Figure 8 Ankle Support” instead, which looks like its going to do the job, I just hate buying a unitasker when the multitasker did the job just fine.
