Not that great at math? No problem! American novelty brand 'Wood Pecker Labs' came out with 'Cheat Feet,' a quirky take on the traditional [white socks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allday-silver-socks) that have an image of the multiplication table printed on it for quick reference -- and a good laugh.

Each sock contains half the multiplication table and when each foot is placed side by side, the images combined to form the full 12 x 12 standard multiplication table. Made from 20% lycra and 62% cotton, these aren't your cashmere socks, but they shape up pretty nicely. They come in all men's sizes from 6 to 11, though a size conversion can easily be made for women too.

The premises for Cheat Feet isn't necessarily for cheating per se, but more for what Wood Pecker Labs refers to as "the [convenient disposal of information](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheatsheet-ai)" and an ironic chuckle.
