Moichandising!

Mel Brooks had it right in his hit 80’s movie Spaceballs - it’s all about moichandising!  Now, thanks to the folks at Cafe Press, you can support The Jew & The Carrot in style.  

 

The beautiful “Eat, be Satisfied, and Bless” decal (designed by The Jew & The Carrot contributor, Anna Stevenson) comes on coffee mugs, aprons, journals, T-shirts, tote bags, and throw pillows.  They’re great for birthday gifts, mishloach manot, or for your own stylish foodie self.  Click here to find out more!

Lone Starr: Yogurt. What is this place? What is it that you do here?
Yogurt: Moichandising.
Barf: Merchandising? What’s that?
Yogurt: Moichandising. Come! I’ll show you. [to the Dinks] Open up this door.
[Yogurt walks over to a wall filled with Spaceballs merchandise.]
Yogurt: Moichandising! Moichandising! Moichandising! Where the real money from the movie is made! Spaceballs: the T-shirt, Spaceballs: the Coloring Book [holds up a Transformers comic book], Spaceballs: the Lunchbox, Spaceballs: the Breakfast Cereal. Spaceballs: the Flame Thrower… [fires a short blast from flame thrower]
Dinks: Oooooohhhh!
Yogurt: The kids love this one. And last, but not least, Spaceballs: the Doll, me.
[Yogurt squeezes the doll, which says “May the Schwartz be with you!”]
Yogurt: Adorable.

    These look great! I would totally buy an apron if they were available in a color other than white :)

    Why are shirts available as Hanes Beefy Ts instead of American Apparel Sustainable Ts?

    Thanks Tovah - unfortunately the apron only comes in white. But just like your favorite cookbook with all the sauce stains on it, a white apron gets better with love and use. :)

    Good call, Ben! There are now two options to purchase Organic cotton T-shirts made in the USA.

    Okie doke - so it turns out Cafe Press is updating something on their website. In the meantime, all new products that were added today aren’t showing up. But the organic/USA-made T-shirts should show up in the next couple of days.

    Keep checking back!

    I got my tote bag! I love it! It is going to be perfect at the farmer’s market, and until then, it will be perfect for store-shopping! And my postcards are going to be So Cool for Purim Mishlo’ach Manot (and I’m generally not such a cool person…)
    Thank you thank you thank you!

    Ditto on the apron color. I’d prefer black, but may get this one anyhow for when I work at Kosherfest! I got the black T-shirt. Maybe they will make a black apron one day.

    I’ll keep everyone posted if the apron becomes available in other colors…though, the way I cook (meaning very sloppily), it wouldn’t take long before my white apron turned into a rainbow!

    I ordered the white apron and wore it in the NYC Salute to Israel parade yesterday. You can sort of see it here: http://www.cheesemistress.com/kosheroutfit.htm

    I wore the apron to a restaurant afterwards. My white napkin fell on the floor without my knowing it and I wiped my hands all over the apron! It’s 65% polyester, so the stains came out.

    I like this apron a lot because it has pockets in the front for my cell phone, and the neck adjusted easily so you could make a “waist.” I would still like a darker color.

    I’m teaching a Shavuos cheese class in this apron!
