@sickburnbro If I had to guess its because of the way we baby them. If I was going on a trip somewhere. I'd bring clean folded clothing. So I could change out of my dirty clothing and into something fresh and clean.

If I'm a foreign dignitary and I know that the Americans will wash my clothes without fail. I'll just bring my dirty clothing. Like children coming home from college.
