There are many different varieties of men’s socks: no-show, crew, dress, ankle. There are also many different materials. Since we are deep in the midst of winter, today we are focusing solely on men’s wool socks. These are socks that will help keep your feet warm during the cold months, especially if you participate in outdoor activities or will be out in the cold for an extended period of time. Most of these socks are unisex or also come in a women’s version.
We have included socks that have a minimum 4.5 rating with 1,000 minimum reviews.

As many people participate in Dry January, it seems fitting that this past week is National Mocktail Week. While I love a good mocktail when dining out, I rarely, make them at home.
However, I feel like that should change this year. For this roundup I went searching beyond the classic Shirley Temple and Virgin Pina Colada recipes. Although these are tasty classics, I wanted to curate a selection of go-to mocktails worthy of an adult gathering.
It was hard to find mocktail recipes that had more than a handful of reviews, so the bar was fairly low for this roundup of recipes. I have not made any of these mocktails yet, but hope to enjoy some of them soon!
For a special occasion try one of these highly rated mocktail recipes. This post includes cocktails that have a minimum 4.5 rating with at least 30 reviews.
Christmas may be over but bookmark these first two mocktail recipes for next year!
As an avid reader, I know that book preferences are very personal. While I plan to showcase a variety of genres, there is no doubt that there were some overwhelming standouts of 2024. Below are some of the most popular books that were published and read last year. The books below have a 4.0 minimum rating with at least 10,000 reviews OR topped a “Best of…” books list.
This is nowhere near an exhaustive list of Best Fiction Books of last year, but is a good starting point if you are looking for a new book to read.
The ratings and number of reviews listed are what was current at the time of research and publishing.

Welcome to All the People Know! This website shares highly rated products, media, recipes, etc. to the masses. The number of consumer products and options is overwhelming. From snacks and podcasts to recipes and everything in between, there are just too many choices!
I subscribe to multiple newsletters. In just one day in December I received 75+ product and media recommendations. I know it was mid-December but that count doesn’t even include all the items shared in various gift guides. How do we trust one blogger/writer/influencer over another? Is this just an affiliate money making grab or a worthy recommendation? Do I trust one writer who loves something or the hundreds or even thousands of people who rate something 5 stars?
The options seem limitless and it’s hard to know what is really worth investing our time and money in. This site’s goal is to make shopping and consuming easier by showcasing highly rated and reviewed product options at a variety of price points and tastes, since we don’t all have the same budgets or preferences.
Please note that these posts are for informational purposes only. We have not tried or consumed most of the products or media that you will find posted on this site. Think of us as the curators, doing the research and showcasing what everyone else is loving. You will hopefully be introduced to some new products, brands and media that a lot of other people love. Ratings, reviews and sources are provided for all items.
