Anyways, great design - Congrats!

Are you sure those are ketchup packets? Look closer, sure looks like apples drawn on them to me.

Very interesting.. heh

This t-shirt comes with a recession rescue plan

artulo wrote:Yes, by all means you should if able to do so!

Artulo, Congrats on the print! Can you tell me the meaning of this print? Is it ketchup?

congrats artulo !!! way to go ...
I have been wanting this shirt since the thrifty derby.
In for 2. I hope the neck hole size is back to normal. I dont like the new neck.

Thanks, yes this was for the "Thrift" derby where it originally placed 21st. It's meant to be a ketchup bottle refilling itself with packets. You know, the ones from the drive thru or mall food court that seem to end up all over the place. I know I have a whole drawer full of them.

To the folks who think the packets look like they have apples on them instead of tomatoes, I can see that. I got a little overzealous with the illustrator tools and put a little extra on those. Think of it as a bonus! Like when you're at a concert and the lead guitar plays a few extra notes that don't really belong there. More for your money.

Thanks again to all for the good comments and those who bought a shirt or two. Lots of times I fly under the radar and it's nice to be noticed!

Too funny!! I like it!! Wish I weren't broke! Congrats again and let's hope you have some #1 derby winners in the future!

I worked for some people once, and older couple, in their 60s & 70s. They were/are millionaires. I saw the wife doing this. Every time we went to a restaurant, if there were any kind of condiment packages on the table, she took them home. Every time. So, I bought this shirt for my sister. She will LOVE it.

Thanks for clearing that up, I was really confused :p.

I really love the artwork, but I hate cream tees (I've only made one exception)...Gonna pass today, but I'll hope for it as one of my randoms next time it comes around...Congrats!

I used to do that at Dairy Queen with their sundaes...Nothing like fries and vanilla ice cream! Yummo!

theinfinityloop wrote:I dip french fries in my Wendy's Frosty.

I so totally do that too! Fries + ice cream = yum!

We'll have to make sure our ketchup-loving friend sees this shirt. :D

I have never understood those tiny packets... who needs just one of those? Why not make some bigger sizes.

They don't squish as easy when you step on them.

Edit: Never mind

Congrats Artulo, about time Woot recognized your work no matter what color shirt it's on!

Snarky, I agree, I noticed this on other shirt threads as well. It is a bit of a turn off.

I, for one, love the color of creme. I think it is such a pretty color, and can really be worn with anything. Congratulations on the print, artulo!

first one i actually feel compelled to buy, but cream just doesn't go with my skin.

good job either way.

just bought one of these badboys, hot Rollerball (2002)

this is just like me at McDonalds, fill 'er up!

I'm so happy to have a ketchup shirt!

HOT DAMN, IT'S ARTULO! And about damn time, too!

I was hoping for the virus shirt, but congrats no less. You certainly earned it!

This is my 4th woot to date. I even bought an extra one for my bro-in-law who is notorious for doing just this thing. He's going to LOVE this shirt.

I've only been a member since November, but I enjoy coming to the site every day and checking out the latest design, even if I don't buy them all.


Congrats Artulo, fun design. Being that I'm from Pittsburgh, the home of Heinz ketchup, this one will hold a special place in my home. (Well really the dresser drawer until I wear it, but you know what I mean, ahuhu.)

Congrats Artulo. You're one of my fav t-shirt artist.

lmao i LIVE in saint louis, messed up yo

Cottage cheese and potato chips is my favorite snack. It's the only useful thing I ever learned from my mother. Have you ever smashed chips and cottage cheese together in a bowl and eaten it like cereal? Mmmmmmm.....

YESSS!!!! bbq chips are good too, for variety.

I love ketchup. In for one.

Love the design, but the shirt color is hideous with it. Too bad, I woulda bought one.

Congrats you got me to get my first shirt woot! Nice work I think its hilarious got 2 of em.
Thanks again

I've been debating ALL DAY LONG whether or not to get this, because the cream might wash me out.. but I had to buy it! (I love red btw <3) But that bottle was one of the cutest things ever.. so I had to get it!

Late to the party, but absolutely agreed.

That sounds terrifying. But I do like chips and cottage cheese separately.
I like french bread and potato chip sandwiches. They're carbolicious.

And also, I've eaten these before:


They were, in a strange way, very delicious. I feel very compelled to try foods that I shouldn't be.

My wife does that!
I'm an old fart - for me its saltines with jello.
Cool design, but I already got two cream shirt.woot shirts, so I'll pass.

with all this anti-cream talk, maybe woot should have a golden-rod color available. Then again, it'd be nice if they had many more colors.

The tomatoes look like apples

come 'on guys....you must get this shirt. it is gonna be greaaattttttttt. it has to sellout, just gotta to.
