Edwin Heaven claims that he has the cure for the missing sock. He came up with the idea when he noticed that a lot of people where losing one of their socks, which made them throw away the other one.

Throx After Shark Tank
Edwin Heaven is selling Throx, which are socks that come in threes. This way, when you lose one of your socks, you will still have a pair. None of the Sharks were interested in investing in Throx, especially because it all seemed like a joke to them. In their opinions, Throx was nothing but a novelty product, which you would purchase one or twice at Christmas. There is no mention of Throx being the best or worst on Shark Tank, but it was pretty obvious that none of the Sharks wanted to do anything with Edwin Heaven and his products.
Even though it came to me as a big surprise, the official website of Throx is still online to this date. You can find the website at http://www.throx.com, and once you click on the link, you will quickly notice that the website is really outdated. The official Throx website still uses a Flash intro, which is something you would see on websites from the early 2000’s.
You can look around the website and find more information about Throx, but everything seems to be written in a jokingly matter. It is very clear that Edwin Heart is behind this website, because he was also joking around a lot when he was pitching to the Sharks.
There are several different Throx designs available, from regular and cotton Throx to Thigh Highs. Many of the products are obviously not available anymore, and when you try to add them to your cart, you will receive an error message. However, I did manage to find a couple of designs that were still available on the website. The regular socks go for $13.33 per package and the thigh highs go for $16,66 per package.
