I have been looking for such socks, here is one company...https://harvestandmill.com/products/organic-socks-organic-cotton-socks-white-crew

I avoid Pact brand socks because they are just too small and squeeze my ankles to much but if you have skinny ankles Pact may be ok too...https://wearpact.com/women/underwear/socks

Here is a draft post on the Mountain Dew Maui Blast. Kind of not sure about posting it as it feels too soon.

It appears that there may have been some kind of viral marketing campaign?

Two of my favorite fact checks:

Is U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez an Actress Playing a Congresswoman?

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/aoc-actress-playing-lawmaker/

The “Brains Behind AOC” video correctly states that Ocasio-Cortez was recruited by the Justice Democrats to run for office. However, this fact is presented in the video as if it were an unprecedented act of political malfeasance. In reality, it is quite common for Political Action Committees (PACs) to recruit candidates for office. The Justice Democrats made no attempt to hide this effort and openly discuss their recruitment process on their website and in videos published to their public YouTube page.

Videos showing people using tap water as the sample on a COVID-19 test have gone viral. While some people who shared the video claimed that tap water carries the novel coronavirus, others said that the home testing kits are faulty.

However, we found that the claims are misleading as the videos don't use the test kits as per the instructions. Independent studies conducted on the tests proved that such results can be achieved with not only tap water but other substances such as soft drinks, fruits, etc.

Those are great examples where I think the factcheckers can be trolled and possibly make a half truth post get more attention than it would otherwise. I did hear Covid home testing kits were used by students trying to get out of school with a fake result. On AOC I never heard that she was an actress but it makes sense!

The focus on the word actress is how they wiggled out of admitting the truth:

Kohls told us in an email that “the use of the word ‘actress’ was illustrative.” He continued: “I did not mean to suggest that this was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s actual profession or an official role. I thought this was clear.” While Kohls admits that the congresswoman was not an actress in the literal sense, he said that he still believes she “audition(ed) for the role of congress woman as a response to an open casting call by Justice Democrats.”
