Cröonchy Stars Cereal 1988 Vintage Men's T-Shirt

Design Description

Cröonchy Stars began as a fictional Swedish breakfast cereal that made numerous television appearances alongside one of the world’s favorite celebrity chefs. In 1988, Post decided to turn the gag prop into a real product, bringing Cröonchy Stars to supermarket shelves as a cinnamon-toast-flavored cereal made up of crunchy, star-shaped pieces. Although consumers didn’t exactly hate it, the cereal never became the hit Post had hoped for and disappeared from shelves less than a year later. Much of the cereal’s appeal came from its deliberately absurd packaging, which proudly stated that batteries were not required and that it didn't contain artificial colors or doorknobs. Along with the usual ingredients and nutritional information, the side of the box helpfully explained what Cröonchy Stars didn’t contain, assuring shoppers there were “no trombones, no broccoli, no shoe trees and no wheelbarrows” inside. Cröonchy Stars briefly returned in 1992 before disappearing once again, leaving it as a fondly remembered oddity among ’80s kids and serious cereal aficionados. Product Details

Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods. In short, these shirts are everything you’ve dreamed of and more – it feels soft and lightweight with just the right amount of stretch, making it comfortable and flattering for both men and women.

Screen colors may vary due to differences in screens. Due to the natural nature of cotton, whites may appear off-white rather than bright white. Size Chart

Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size. All sizes are provided in inches! Please note that variations in sizing of up to 1.5 inches are possible.
