Jellybean Why So Serious Clown Graphic T-Shirt - Black

JELLY BEAN American Vintage Quirky Print Unisex Tee Vol.II in Charcoal.

Everyone understands why you take the first jelly bean. The jar is there, the colors are there, you pick one based on what you expect, and you eat it. The first one is a guess — an informed guess if you have done this before, but a guess nonetheless, because between the color and the flavor there is a gap that can only be crossed by the eating, and until you eat it you do not fully know what the color was actually going to taste like. The second jelly bean is different. The second jelly bean is taken after the gap has been crossed. After the eating. After the knowing. The second jelly bean is the one you take when you are no longer guessing — when you reach back into the jar not because you are uncertain but because you are certain, because the first one confirmed that this is what you wanted and you want more of what you wanted. This is the more considered choice. Not more careful, necessarily — you might take the second one faster than the first, because there is no deliberation required when the deliberation has already been done — but more considered in the sense that it is made from a position of knowledge rather than a position of expectation. JELLY BEAN Vol.II in Charcoal is the second jelly bean. The first Charcoal JELLY BEAN tee established the argument: Charcoal is the correct ground for this print, the contrast is real, the candy is louder on this ground than on any other. This tee does not re-establish that argument. This tee is what you wear after the argument has already been accepted — a different print, the same correct ground, the choice made from the position of someone who already went through the first one and came back for more. The American vintage quirky print is new. The situation it finds itself in is not new — it finds itself on Charcoal, which has already been established as the environment in which JELLY BEAN prints are most themselves, most present, most the thing they are rather than a version of the thing they could be on a ground that was not Charcoal. There are people who always take one jelly bean at a time, who treat each one as its own complete experience, who do not reach back into the jar until the current one is finished. And there are people who reach into the jar while they are still eating the first one, who have already confirmed enough to be moving forward with the next confirmation. JELLY BEAN Vol.II is for the second kind of person. The first tee was the guess. This one is the decision. Same jar. Different candy inside. Correct ground, again, still, as expected, as confirmed, as chosen on purpose this time rather than for the first time.

Key Details

• 🍫⚫2️⃣ Vol.II — the second jelly bean: taken after the gap between color and flavor has been crossed:
  • The first: a guess — informed if you’ve done this before, but a guess; between color and flavor is a gap only crossable by eating, until then you don’t fully know
  • The second: taken after the gap is crossed, after the eating, after the knowing — you reach back not because you’re uncertain but because you’re certain; the first confirmed this is what you wanted and you want more of what you wanted
  • The more considered choice: not more careful, possibly faster — no deliberation required when deliberation is already done — but made from knowledge, not expectation.
• ⚫🍫2️⃣ Different print, same correct ground — Charcoal already established, this tee does not re-establish it:
  • The first Charcoal JELLY BEAN tee established: Charcoal is the correct ground, contrast is real, candy is louder here than anywhere else. This tee does not re-establish that argument — it is what you wear after the argument has already been accepted
  • New print. The situation it finds itself in: not new — Charcoal, already established as the environment where JELLY BEAN prints are most themselves, most present, most the thing they are rather than a version
  • Same jar. Different candy inside. Correct ground, again, still, as expected, as confirmed, as chosen on purpose this time rather than for the first time.
• ⚫🍫⚛️ For the person already reaching into the jar while still eating the first one:
  • Two kinds of people: those who take one at a time, treat each as complete, don’t reach back until finished — and those who reach in while still eating the first, already confirmed enough to move forward with the next confirmation
  • Vol.II is for the second kind. The first tee was the guess. This one is the decision.
  • Same jar. New print. On purpose, this time.
