Can’t Pinch This
I had this custom made for St. Patrick’s Day. (For you colorblind folks, the text is green. Sorry you had to miss the joke.)

Not sure what this movie is about, but I imagine there’s a lab where mad scientists grow babies — of what species I’m not entirely sure, but perhaps human judging from the box art — and their growing process contains…

Delaware Punch
Is Hawaiian Punch too exotic for you? During my recent trip to Mexico, I discovered a grape-flavored and non-tropical alternative to Hawaiian Punch: Delaware Punch.
