You must have a lot of questions about these Count Chocula socks I got from General Mills. I\u2019ll try to answer some of them:<\/p>\n

Do these go up to my ankles, shins, knees, thighs? <\/em><\/p>\n

They are no show socks. So expect little to no ankle coverage.<\/p>\n

What shoe sizes do they fit?<\/em><\/p>\n

According to the box, they are for shoe sizes 4-10.<\/p>\n

What are the socks made out of?<\/em><\/p>\n

97% polyester and 3% spandex. <\/p>\n

Do they make my feet smell like Count Chocula?<\/em><\/p>\n

Only if you put Count Chocula in the sock before placing your feet into them.<\/p>\n

Will General Mills bring back Fruit Brute?<\/em><\/p>\n

You\u2019re asking the wrong person.<\/p>\n

If I win this and throw this into someone\u2019s Christmas stocking, will you tell them that I got it for free?<\/em><\/p>\n

No. But who knows what Santa will do with you next year.<\/p>\n
