Burger Socks: Hold the Lettuce Between Your Toes

Hungry? How about a delicious, juicy cheeseburger? That sounds yummy to me. What if I told you somebody’s stinky feet had been touching your sandwich? You’d have second thoughts about cramming it into your mouth for sure. So while these cheeseburger socks are cute, they’re definitely not fit for consumption.

Rainbow Socks makes this this whimsical and colorful set of printed socks that look like a burger when folded up and stacked. In fact, you’re looking at a double cheeseburger, fully-loaded with two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. Wait a second. That’s the Big Mac song.

Of course, they come packaged in an appropriate burger style container too. You can grab two pairs of the burger socks over on Amazon for $19.99. Would you like fries with that?
