Junk Food Garbage Pail Kid Series

    What can I say about Junk Food, but they are one of the best "branded" t-shirts.  They primarily use other brands for their graphics and now they have added the "Garbage Pail Kids" to their stable.  If you forgot who the Garbage Pail Kids were, they were trading cards from Topps designed to make fun of the Cabbage Patch Kids in the mid 80's.  They were all the rage and even had a horrible movie made about their cards.  They phenomenon died out in the 90's and became nostalgic these days.  Junk Food has taken the best of the best and immortalized the GPK on t-shirts today.  The shirts look exactly like the cards did, almost like you peeled off the sticker, from the card, and slapped it on the shirt.  All my favorites are represented Snotty Sam, Evil Eddie and New Wave Dave.  I hope they continue the shirt line and expand to more characters and even come up with some new kids.  We kids loved the Garbage Pail Kids because our parents hated their disgusting images and how they glorified social awkwardness. 80stees.com seems to have the best selection and you should check out their other Junk Food tees.
