breadpig is the hub for a wide variety of geeky ideas and designs -- many of them for sale, others simply for our own amusement -- none of them for a profit. You see, rather than following the typical corporate directive of maximizing shareholder wealth, breadpig aims to do interesting (good) things with its profits. Keep up with the latest projects on the blog.
All breadpig shirts are American Apparel brand, 100% cotton, and will make you look both sexy and socially responsible (made in sweatshop-free downtown LA). They do run a bit smaller than other tees, so check the male and female sizing charts.
Snacks
Spam Fortune Cookies
A wise man once said: "The best advice you can get is the advice you don't want to hear."
If that's true, then the more unwanted it is, the better it must be -- right? So, logically, unsolicited bulk email messages must contain the greatest advice of all time. Combine this flawless reasoning with a delicious after-dinner cookie and you have a source advice unmatched by anything else in the world.
Each package contains 20 fortune cookies with the finest hand-picked spam email subject lines. Impress your friends with dessert that they can't automatically filter into a junk folder!
Such an cultural feat couldn't have been possible without our partner in baking, Omni Consumer Products.

Clothing
spiderpig t-shirt (spiderpig glows in the dark)
The breadpig can't be the world's only hero. That's where spiderpig steps -- no, trots -- in. During the day, the spiderpig will quietly be absorbing light and patiently waiting until nightfall (or really any darkness, like in a closet or under a desk) to strike fear into the heart of any mortal who dares cross its path.
"Your testimonial here"
-- You, Awesometown, Planet Earth
breadpig project: 100% of profits donated to The Mercy Corps to alleviate suffering, poverty, and oppression by building strong communities that don't even need superheroes to protect them (Gotham, we're looking at you). This shirt, designed by the great Zoya Feldman, was originally slated to support the Rolling Cones, a group of geeks who repainted an old icecream truck to drive it from England to Mongolia in order to raise money for said non-profit. Spiderpig was a bit late, so we're skipping the middleman.
breadpig t-shirt (in either black or blue)
The breadpig has a posse. Wearing this shirt identifies you as one of said posse (one of the members awesome enough to get a shirt).
Testimonials
"I feel like I can save the world when I'm wearing this shirt. It's as though a gaping void in my soul has been filled whenever I'm embraced by the 100% cotton of my breadpig tee."
-- Connor Dolan, Reston, VA, USA
The breadpig has tricked children around the world into thinking pigs with bread wings could fly, resulting in the falling deaths of countless pigs with slices of bread glued to their bodies. This nefarious swine must be thwarted.
-- Jack Thompson, Coral Gables, FL, USA
If we'd had the breadpig on our side in 1776, I wouldn't have needed to write that declaration -- just sent our winged hero over to wallop King George III.
-- Thomas Jefferson, Charlottesville, VA, USA
The last time I wore my breadpig shirt, I got 2 epic set piece drops!!! I haven't changed my clothes in 72 hours.
-- Kathanxu, lvl 70 Gnome Warlock, Duskwood server
breadpig project: 100% of profits donated to The Awesome Foundation to fund grants for awesomeness. Every month, a new awesome project gets awarded $1,000 cash to do something, well, awesome.
Books are my aphrodisiac shirt
Some people prefer oysters, others chocolate, and yet others animal costumes. This shirt is for bibliophiles: lovers of books, of reading, and those who love them, too. Whether you prefer to enjoy them in bed, at 30,000 feet, or even al fresco, this shirt is for you.
No one forgets their first time loving -- really loving -- a book; the one that turned them on to this sensual art. What was yours?
breadpig project: 100% of profits donated to Room to Read for breaking the cycle of poverty, one child at a time, by bringing education to the world's poor. And by spreading knowledge and literacy, creating an entirely new market of readers who will one day buy this shirt.
Dreaming of Androids t-shirt
We know what androids dream of, but what about electric sheep?
Testimonials
"I did not approve this shirt."
-- Philip K. Dick, Santa Ana, CA, USA
My feelings are rather conflicted about this t-shirt.
-- Rick Deckard, San Francisco, CA, USA
Great design, but I prefer the term 'Artificial Person' myself.
-- Bishop, LV-426, Zeta II Reticuli system
Believing one's shirt to be perfect is often the sign of a delusional mind; in this case, I'll make an exception.
-- Data, USS Enterprise-D
breadpig project: 100% of profits donated to EFF for protecting our digital rights even while our electric sheep are sleeping.
