Who knows what the future might bring, every day I'm surprised by what they've discovered that I never expected they would.

Having a crime-fighting chocalate-loving anamatronic robot on PopSci T-Shirt!
But seriously folks, cheap wine is a danger to all humanity...
I am out of clean shirts so Im just trying to delay doing my laundry
ill wear that shirt to my wedding
This is totally cooler than my 3 wolf moon shirt.
Oh and I would like to point out the dates are wrong- "we'll randomly choose and announce our winner right here next Friday, December 18"
Please don't disqualify me for double posting :(
Lol
i like this!
my friends wont get it though
This shirt would make an excellent xmas gift to me.
Fun stuff. I wonder if soon you will be able to use your wristphone to buy bad bottles of inhalable chocolate-flavored wine to power your car?
Very Cool
All of our future technology is great, now if they could just invent something to prevent stress in the future.
WinoTron! We need more Columbian Chocolate, on the double!
Give the shirt to me, you will.
i like this shirt haha
one time
excellent christmas present for myself :P
I love you Popsci!

I'll take fries with the shirt too.
Merry Christmas, shopping robot.

Happy Holidays everyone!

I'd like the watch-phone. i wonder why we can't do that now, i mean i would be set if my phone, mp3 player and watch were all in one. couple it with Bluetooth headsets that go all the way in your ear like a hearing aid and i think you could have finally created the most practical phone ever.
i want some of that chocalate and that shirt
nose chocolate probably isn't going to catch on.
SWEET T-SHIRT

AdrianSky, you're our winner! Congrats. And, um, if you actually wear the shirt to your wedding, send us the photo and we'll strut your stuff on the site. :-) I'll email you today to get your real name and snail mail and we'll get your prize off to you.
Thanks for enduring the holiday break, everyone-- we're back on track with our weekly TWITF now, so don't be sad if you didn't win this time, cuz you can play again this week (and next week, and the next, and the next...)!
