Socks and the city

Have a lonely sock you can't find a match for? You're not alone!
  • 12% of Torontonians believe the socks end up in sock heaven, the Bermuda triangle, or with a sock gremlin
  • 14% don't know where the socks end up
  • Two-in-ten Torontonians hold onto their lonely socks forever in hopes of a reunion!
Help your sock find its Sole Mate

Send Toronto Hydro your lonely sock and they'll do their best to match it with a compatible sock partner. If you're one of the first 100 people to send it in, they'll mail you an eco-friendly drying rack. To match your sock successfully, they'll need a description of when and where it was worn.

The top 10 Sole Mate matches will be posted on their website.

This is Candidate Number 5678

Single Since: March 2009

Description: Gently combed cotton sock with just the right amount of spandex. Likes getting warm by the fire and fleece boots.

Other interesting facts: Once worn with sandals during awkward adolescent years. Was worn to meet the Prime Minister in 2009

Remember in December when I cleaned out my sock drawer (and discovered I had 80 pairs of socks?!)? I found lots of single mates but, alas, threw them out.

80 pairs is pretty impressive. I need to clean out my sock drawer badly and will probably toss the survivors too.
