The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Fruit stickers are small, unassuming and under-appreciated. However, these little oblongs, squares and rhombi make fine collectibles, and often employ a brilliant use of design and typography. Now, the versatile decals are a t-shirt.
The Fruit Sticker T-shirt is brought to us by art project, Fruit Stickers, and shirt-maker Everpress. The tees are now available for pre-order and, the best part, is that each one comes with a set of fruit stickers. No trip to the produce section necessary.

Watch, as our steady-handed operator peels and dissects the deceased fruit, while documenting his findings. After discovering some stab wounds and an impaled nail, it’s determined that the cause of death was actually homicide.
So, apparently, there’s a serial banana killer out there that must be stopped.
