Was this the one that had a mail-in offer that would let you get a clone hoodie for $5? Wait… Yeah it is! Just found the text of the original offer on the back of the packaging…
“For just $5 you too can know the power of max level suckage in this unique, gently-used hoodie. Be the envy of absolutely no one as you run around town looking like a bad second-hand copy of a true original. Every boy on your block dreams of dressing up like the superhero equivalent of a hobo, so send off for your Clone Hoodie TODAY!!”
Ha,ha. Yeah nice catch. lol
