I have wondered why C&B folks do not use these soft, white balls for final loads.

They are already magical, i.e. how and what they do is mysterious.
They hide in clothing and then reappear in unexpected places, but vanish when you want one.

Easy to use too, and are silent in their sneaky, conniving ploys.

Good question! My wife sometimes uses these in her laundry, but I never have. I'll have to try them out. The ones we have had are bland in color, kind of an ivory, but would *definitely* be soft and silent.

They have lots of things going for them. One drawback is the lack of surprise effect you get from unusual objects, like fruit.
