TIB’S SEASON OF GIVING 2025: Day 7

You must have a lot of questions about these Count Chocula socks I got from General Mills. I’ll try to answer some of them:

Do these go up to my ankles, shins, knees, thighs?

They are no show socks. So expect little to no ankle coverage.

What shoe sizes do they fit?

According to the box, they are for shoe sizes 4-10.

What are the socks made out of?

97% polyester and 3% spandex.

Do they make my feet smell like Count Chocula?

Only if you put Count Chocula in the sock before placing your feet into them.

Will General Mills bring back Fruit Brute?

You’re asking the wrong person.

If I win this and throw this into someone’s Christmas stocking, will you tell them that I got it for free?

No. But who knows what Santa will do with you next year.

TIB’S SEASON OF GIVING 2025: Day 6

These bamboo bowls that General Mills sent me with a bunch Old El Paso products are nice. I want to keep them, but we have a lot of bowls in our kitchen. We have enough of them to fill a dishwasher and then some. We even have bowls that are shaped like fish. They aren’t big enough to eat cereal from, but they are a good size to pour salsa into, which I think is what these bamboo bowls were intended for.

Oddly, I don’t remember any of the products that came with it being salsa.

RULES:

To enter this prize drawing for these bamboo bowls, leave a comment with THIS post, and that comment MUST include the words “toad-in-the-hole.”

TIB’S SEASON OF GIVING 2025: Day 5

I’ve had this Ben & Jerry’s towel for almost 10 years. I don’t remember what Ben & Jerry’s ice cream it came with when the company sent it to me. It’s never been used. It’s just been sitting in my closet and probably sad about that. It’s a beach towel and it has never touched sand in its life, even though it is currently a mile and a half away from a beach.

But if you win this circle-shaped towel, I ask that you not mention how close it was to sand and surf. I don’t want to have to keep looking over my shoulder for a towel that might strangle me for revenge for not taking it to a beach. I hope the person who wins this towel will use it properly and let it experience the beach to the fullest.

To enter this prize drawing for this Ben & Jerry’s towel, leave a comment with THIS post, and that comment MUST include the words “bonne bouche.”
