I was dying to own a Candy Addict t-shirt of my own so I finally did it. I had some t-shirts professionally screenprinted and they look fabulous. They are a nice grape-y/purple color with yellow text (the middle pic above is a better representation of the true color - the purple isn’t as dark as the outer pics make it look).
The front of the shirt simply says “I want candy.” It’s not yelling, or asking for attention, it’s just a plain statement of fact. I want candy. The back says “CandyAddict.com” in the nifty Candy Addict font. They are professionally screenprinted on Hanes tagless 100% cotton t-shirts. We currently have adult sizes S, M, L, and XL available. After keeping a few for myself and friends and family, and giving some to the staff, we only have about 35 shirts total so these could be considered “limited edition”.
Price is $15 each (this includes shipping to US addresses). We can take payment by credit cards (via by Paypal), and general Paypal payments also. If you can’t (or don’t want to) pay by Paypal, email me directly and we’ll see what we can work out. Also, email me directly if you are not in the US and want a t-shirt.
Oh yeah, one more thing - you’ll get free candy shipped with every T-shirt. Seriously.
After you order, email me and give me your address and desired shirt size via email. The payment form doesn’t let you enter that info.

If I had a business card that stated the adjectives most appropriate for describing me, the first one would definitely be “Candy Addict.” The second? Nerd. I love sci-fi and computers almost as much as I love candy. Come to think of it, I’m happiest camped out in front of the TV watching Star Trek reruns and eating bonbons than I am anywhere else. Now, there’s a shirt that embraces both primary aspects of my personality.
From NerdyShirts comes the Nerds Rule T-Shirt. Featuring a nerd holding a box of Nerds, the shirt’s a great way to proclaim your or your loved one’s candy addicted nerdiness. At $20, though, I know I don’t have enough cash left over from my post-Easter purchases to buy one for myself. Ah well, at least my birthday is coming up soon…

One of my favorite online T-shirt shops, Threadless, has come out with a new t-shirt that isn’t exactly candy-related, but it’s chocolate, so it’s close enough. It’s called The Elusive Chocolate Moose. I don’t think it’s quite as good as the Operation Sweet Tooth t-shirt (that’s still out of stock) I wrote about last year, but it’s still pretty snazzy.

I am a nut for T-shirts, and I have been dying to get some Candy Addict Tees printed up (mainly because I want one) so I’m finally going to do it. Problem is, I don’t have a design! So, let’s see if some reader (or friend of a reader) can come up with a great design for a Candy Addict tee!
I do NOT want a tee with just “Candy Addict” or candyaddict.com or “I’m a Candy Addict” on it (though I would like candyaddict.com on it somewhere small). I want it to be a shirt people would like whether or not they have ever visited Candy Addict. I want mass appeal. Here is an example of the type of shirt I like. I also saw a shirt that George Duran from “Ham on the Street” was wearing in the candy episode that I liked. It was an orangish-brownish shirt with a big multi-colored lollipop on the front. Plain and simple but classy.
UPDATE: Here are some more examples of the style of design I was thinking of:
I don’t want the design on a white or a black shirt. I’m thinking muted orange or light blue or something but I’m not set on that. I want a color and design that would appeal to both guys and gals. Also remember to keep the colors of the design to a minimum - more colors means more money to print the shirts. Let’s try and keep it to 4 colors maximum and remember you can creatively use the color of the shirt in the design. Please do not use any copyrighted candy, slogans, or images on the shirt. That means no Hershey’s Kisses shapes, or “Snickers Satisfies” on it. I don’t want to get in trouble with the candy companies. The design could be just text (a catchy/funny candy slogan), text and graphics, or just graphics.
So, if anyone has design skillz, send me a design! If I pick your design, you will get a permanent link on the t-shirt’s sale page that links to your homepage, design website, or whatever you want and you will get credit on the sale page as the designer of the shirt. You will get five of the shirts for free, and I’ll send you a bunch of candy within six months (I’ll squirrel away extras that I get).
For those that don’t have design skillz, but might want to buy one, let me know in the comments if you might be interested, and if so, what colors you recommend for the shirt, and what size you would want if you bought one (so I can get an idea of what sizes to order). Keep in mind, I will sell these shirts CHEAP. I don’t want to make much/any money on them, I really just want a few for myself. My goal is to sell these for less than $10 each but they will be done on good quality tees. You should be able to get one for less than $15 shipped. I’ll probably do an initial run of 50 shirts but if these sell well, I may do another batch at a slightly higher price. Maybe.
If I can’t find anyone with a good design idea, I may just hit up my sister (she does most of the graphics on the site) and see if she can come up with something.
Thoughts? Comments? If anyone knows of a website where designers hang out that I could mention this at, please let me know!

Be sure and check out their extensive collection of candy-themed t-shirts.

I was recently browsing 80stees.com when I came across the Grape Scratch and Sniff PEZ T-Shirt. A scratch and sniff shirt? How cool is that! It’s candy, it’s grape-y, it’s retro, it’s everything you could ever want! I was seriously tempted to buy until I read the description and realized that after about five washings the scratch and sniff goodness wears out. Bummer. I mean, I can rewear with the best of them, but after so many run-ins with baby puke and toddler mucus it’s going to have to go in the wash.
Plus, it occurred to me that the exact location of the logo might present problems - “Hey, my shirt is scratch and sniff! Sniff me right there!” Not good. I’m just thankful the thought came to me before I bought it and tested it out. Still, a guy secure in his masculinity might enjoy it… and probably won’t have to worry about that whole washing conundrum either!
80stees.com actually has quite a few cool candy-themed tees (mostly for the ladies) like Tootsie Roll, Fun Dip, Bubblicious, more PEZ shirts, Chupa Chups, Dubble Bubble, and Blow Pop.

Hey, want a free Butterfinger t-shirt (and who wouldn’t)? I just saw over at
HeyItsFree that you can signup to get a Butterfinger Activation Kit that includes a Butterfinger T-shirt and some miscellaneous other Butterfinger paraphernalia. I’m not saying to lie on the forms, but if at first you don’t succeed … try, try again. I was “accepted” on my second try.
UPDATE: I received my pack on 10/11/06 and it does include a free t-shirt!

We mentioned
PEZheads - The Movie (a PEZ documentary movie) previously, and now they’ve opened up pre-orders for the DVD, set to ship in September.
PEZheads - The Movie is a documentary about PEZ and PEZ Collectors. It explores the phenomenon of PEZ collecting through interviews with a variety of collectors and vendors, as well as visits to conventions, the PEZ factory, flea markets, and anywhere else we can find PEZ.
This documentary highlights the fun and quirky aspects of the hobby, as well as the community and the friendships that develop around it. It explores the PEZ phenomonon from the viewpoint of non-collectors and collectors alike, as well as collectors’ families and friends.
This movie is for the PEZhead in all of us. So whether you’ve never purchased a PEZ dispenser in your life, or your house is full of PEZ, you will be fascinated by the people and places you’ll encounter in this documentary.
To be honest though, I am more excited about their new PEZ stem t-shirt (seen above). Wear it and your head becomes the head on a PEZ dispenser (from the front and back). Pure genius! I’d love to see a picture of someone wearing it. They also have two other unique PEZ t-shirts that are both on sale - one is $10 and one is $12. They are nicely done too, but I think I’d spend a few bucks more and get the PEZ stem shirt, personally.

I wrote about a “contest” Reese’s was having and giving away 100,000 Reese’s T-shirts. I pretty much guaranteed that you would get a free t-shirt if you signed up (sign up ends today).
TodayI received my free Reese’s T-shirt! WooHoo! Anyone else sign up for it and get one too? You can’t beat free stuff, can you? So, now I have three candy-related t-shirts: my Nerd shirt, a Diablo t-shirt, and now my Reese’s shirt. You would think a Candy Addict might have more, but that’s it. There are plenty of other candy t-shirts I would love to have though.

I just found out about this “sweepstakes” from Hershey’s where they are giving away 100,000 Tshirts. It’s labelled as a sweepstakes, but there is no drawing involved. The first 100,000 get the shirts. I just stumbled on this and haven’t seen it anywhere else (web, TV, etc.). I googled it and found it mentioned on only two places so I bet they haven’t had 100,00 entries yet.
You don’t even have to buy the Reese’s - if you look at the official rules, you can just send in a piece of paper as your “entry” and it will get you one. I sent mine in yesterday. I figure it’s worth a few minutes and a 39-cent stamp to get a Tshirt. I’ll let you know when/if I get one. The “sweepstakes” ends July 7. No guarantees you will get one, but if I were a betting man I would bet you will get one given that this hasn’t been heavily publicized.
