About this Raddle

Today's Raddle is by Ben Gross. Ben writes, "All of my socks are Darn Tough socks. They are extremely comfortable, feature delightful patterns, and have an incredible lifetime warranty. If any of my socks develops a hole, I can just put it in an envelope and send it to Vermont and they give me a credit to buy new socks! If you have 8 pairs of Darn Tough socks (one backup pair) you basically never to need to buy socks again."

Ben Gross is the mayor of Bracket City and occupies some inferior position at Montague Diner in Brooklyn.
