BosGuy brain teaser

riddle, exercise for your brain

Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together. Leave your guess in the comment section.

This week’s riddle: What is a snowman’s favorite dessert?

I’ll approve responses later in the day to allow people to respond without seeing any spoilers.

Vintage gay
