Welcome to Asked & Answered, a new column in which Gear Patrol editors back up (or burn down) your takes and answer your product questions in the name of Product Journalism.
Starting now, spam our inboxes (really, just this form) with all your product culture questions and we’ll reply – in column form – to the best in turn. What kinds of questions are we looking for? For starters, if it starts with “what’s the best X?” we’re passing – we want to untangle product quandaries, not shop for you (find us shopping for you here).
Bad: What’s your favorite bourbon under $50?
Good: Why can’t I find the bourbons you write about at any of my local liquor stores?
All published questions will be anonymized (first names only), but, if your question is selected, an editor may contact you for clarification if needed. Drop us a line.
