---Originally released before the introduction of the pear body, the Damaged Knit Sweater was designed to offer an "oversized" look on the classic body. Interestingly, this sweater appears to have influenced the manifestation of the pear body girls, as it fits them quite well!

Various survival strategies are being adopted in the post-apocalyptic world. One of the more popular is wearing a damaged knit sweater that has been given a "I-have-been-clawed-at-by-a-zombie-and-thus-am-infected-so-drop-your-loot-and-run-before-I-bite-you" look and feel. This makes it easy to stock up on food and medical supplies.

Damage knit sweaters also allows the wearer to lay on the ground and play "I-have-been-clawed-to-death-by-another-zombie-and-am-past-my-expiry-date-so-no-need-to-eat-me-move-along-move-along."

This strategy of feigning death (also known as thanatosis) is common in the animal kingdom that various species adopt when threatened.

Feigning death (playing dead) to avoid being eaten by a zombie is a skill that can be easily adopted by following the following rules.

1. Do not smile or laugh - this could possibly give away that you are not actually dead.
2. No checking your cell phone even though you hear a notification - this may also give you away.
