Oh shit…. If I were asked to chose between one of the three of these, I’d have a helluva time picking. With that being said, I’m pretty sure music would edge out Jaffa Cakes by a thin margin. After all, as wonderfully tasty as Jaffa Cakes can be, my need to rock out is often times far stronger.
Sorry about that, art. I know hearing that a snack food rates higher must sting. Honestly, it’s nothing personal. Your contributions to society and culture are rad. And I seriously love the shit you’ve done with folks like Andy Warhol, Banksy, kozyndan, Shepard Fairey and whatnot.
When it comes down to it tho, I just really like Jaffa Cakes more. My waistline is proof positive of that. Hopefully you understand, art…
Know of a hand-crafted or out of print t-shirt that you can’t seem to find in stores? Think it deserves to be featured here? Let us know!
The Scottish rock band Travis was selling these on their last tour.
You can see the shirt in the video for their song “Selfish Jean”. It’s at the 1:23 mark:

They don’t sell it on their site, but they did at their live shows.
Here’s the lead singer, Fran Healy, wearing the shirt on-stage:

Because I am a big dork, I made myself one of these t-shirts (after the “Selfish Jean” video) to wear to the Travis concert back in November. I was a little disappointed they were selling them at the show.
I’m greedy and vote for all three at once….
Don’t worry, those are checkboxes, not radio buttons! You may select as many as you like.
Geek cred to Ian for pointing out the checkbox/radio button thing…
