What does the shirt say?

This shirt from Graphic Tees Co. says TECHNICALLY A VEGETABLE in thick dark brown capitals under a marshmallow-topped casserole. The joke is the straight-faced defense: every family has someone who swears a dessert-level side dish counts as the vegetable on the plate.

Is there a sweatshirt with the same print?

Yes. The Technically a Vegetable crewneck sweatshirt carries the same casserole and the same line on 8 oz fleece. Wear the tee for a warm kitchen on Thanksgiving morning and the sweatshirt for the potluck afterward, so the dad who guards the marshmallows has a full set to choose from.

Why are there no dark colors?

The warm linework and the dark brown lettering would disappear on dark fabric, so we only offer light and mid colors: White, Natural, Ash, Athletic Heather, Heather Dust and Tan. Each color has its own photo on this page, so you can check how the casserole and the words look on the one you pick.

How does the tee fit?

It is a classic unisex cut in sizes S through 4XL, made of lightweight 4.2 oz cotton. Order your usual size for a regular fit, or size up for a looser one. If the size is not right, we do one free size exchange within 30 days of delivery.

When do I need to order for Thanksgiving?

Order by about November 12 so it arrives before Thanksgiving. Graphic Tees Co. prints each tee to order, which takes a few business days, then ships within the US. Orders of $45 or more ship free, and a misprint or damaged item is reprinted or refunded within 30 days.

How do I wash this graphic tee?

Inside out, cold water, gentle cycle. Skip bleach and fabric softener, then hang dry or tumble dry low. Never iron directly on the print.

Sweet Potato Shirt – Technically a Vegetable Funny Tee

The story+

The sweet potato casserole buried under a full layer of toasted marshmallows, defended with a straight face as the healthy side. This sweet potato shirt is for the guy who brings it to every Thanksgiving and swears it counts as a vegetable.

The art is a vintage 1950s food-magazine ad: a glass casserole dish of orange sweet potato casserole under a thick layer of golden toasted marshmallows, a serving spoon lifting out a big gooey bite, a wisp of steam and a sprig of sage beside the dish. TECHNICALLY A VEGETABLE sits right underneath in two lines of thick, dark brown capitals.

Wear it to the Thanksgiving dinner, the potluck table or the Friendsgiving where the casserole disappears first. It is an easy gift for the cook who defends the marshmallows. Original art, made for Graphic Tees Co. and printed the day you order it.
