WTF (Where’s The Food)

The initials “WTF” usually stand for “What The Fuck.” “WTF” (Where’s The Food)” is a jocular variation on the letters that has been printed on many gift items, such as T-shirts and posters. “Where’s The Food” has been cited in print since at least September 2000.
 
ILoveFarmers.org began selling items with “WTF? Where’s the Food, Without the Farmer?” since about 2007.
 
   
Wiktionary: WTF
Initialism

Tshirt Ideas

I think it might be productive to discuss t-shirt ideas here… Some people might have an idea but really have no clue as how well it will be received so I guess this can be your trial balloon.
 
To start things off, first idea I had for the tshirts was “wtf?” for the front followed by “Where’s the food?” and a list of DS food things. The more I think about it, the less appealing it’s becomes; I want to erase my idea now. So as you can see, just put down ideas and we’ll go from there.

WTF Is Your T-Shirt
Posted on March 2, 2010 by Chuck Zimmerman
Today was the first day I’ve worn my WTF shirt. That is Where’s The Food, Without The Farmer? of course. It was fun seeing the reaction from people in the airport, on the plane and in the hotel today traveling to Commodity Classic. I can’t tell you how many people have said, “I saw that on Twitter today.” Thank you to all who re-tweeted me!
