This is meant for the Extra Tasty competition.

Utopia means:
"An ideal place or state. Any vision of a socially and politically perfect society. From Greek roots, it derives its meaning from the words outopia, meaning "no place" and eutopia, meaning " a place where everything is right." In a sense, a utopian land in fiction becomes both a place that never quite existed as it is portrayed and a place where everything seems perfect. It is an imagined world."

I hope you like it, please let me know what you think about it!

it might have been cooler if you had used more worldly delicious foods.

staplefish on Mar 26 '06

wow. so many of your subs, all at once.

i think it's pretty cool.

32mermaids on Mar 26 '06

I like it, but I agree that it would be radder if you'd used regional foods.

Also, no New Zealand? It is utopia (jokes)

Geoff G on Mar 26 '06

This is awesome.

embrace your poison on Mar 26 '06

Eh...I like it with the crappy "american"(or western, whatever. ^_^ hey, americans are supposed to be ethocentrists, right?) foods, it shows how we're stupidly infiltrating the world with our own stupid culture. -_-;

wildanimals on Mar 26 '06

i agree w/embrace your poison.
i like the bright colors and store-bought junk food

inFamoUsEmpirE on Mar 26 '06

Although I love your subs... you should have read the rules.

"You may only submit up to three designs during the duration of the competition."

silverblaknite on Mar 26 '06

Terry Citizen on Mar 27 '06

Thanx for fixing Australia's shape, much more reminiscient of the real shape now :) 5!

zimfreak on Mar 27 '06

One of my favorites of the five you have running.
Really clever idea.
I like the way the continents are filled.

stingerstyler on Mar 27 '06

spencekarl on Mar 27 '06

i love that half the u.s. is a big ass hamburger.

riekepiek on Mar 27 '06

Love your work, hope it gets printed! $5!

mikemills on Mar 27 '06

Maybe they'll just accept your top 3 scores into the running for the contest? This should be one of them.

phones on Mar 27 '06

i like it but why is the UK an orange marshmellow? I'd hate an orange marshmellow. Can't we be a Mars bar or something?

dancingwithmyconfusion on Mar 27 '06

ace

blueconstance on Mar 27 '06

no hawaii?

nonetheless, love it. i've seen quite a few objects or other things shaped out of sugary foods but this is one is better. $4

HarvestMoon on Mar 27 '06

This is a great shirt, I love the colors, everything. Job well done! I hope to see this in print soon. 5$

HarvestMoon on Mar 27 '06

^^ Pleaseeee, on Navy.

Eggie on Mar 27 '06

Maybe it's just me, but this makes me think of http://www.threadless.com/product/168/Operation_Sweet_Tooth

hombreyoda on Mar 27 '06

good $4

spacesick on Mar 28 '06

Awesome, dude.

ddcrandall on Mar 28 '06

I had hoped that I could say it was a shirt about overconsumption. Sadly, Africa is full of food. I don't like the concept.

stingerstyler on Mar 28 '06

^it seems that you didn't get the concept in that case, but well, you'll probably never even come back to read this comment, so why am I writing this?

stickymike on Mar 29 '06

this one is also awesome

good work stinger

annie_d on Mar 29 '06

KooseKoose on Mar 30 '06

Ava Adore on Mar 30 '06

o0o0oo0 pretty
cha-ching!!!!

Dannybolabo on Mar 30 '06

You missed New Zealand!!

CheesecakeBree on Apr 01 '06

Ironic because there are a lot of starving countries... but otherwise I totally dig this design.

firefairy on Apr 02 '06

It's a self centred concept, that assumes the whole world wishes they could eat like America. I find this idea inconsiderate, insulting and pretty idiotic. And I feel slightly sick just thinking about eating such an array of unhealthy food. Why isn't it an image of fresh apples, steaks, tomatoes, strawberries, fish etc.? Why must you instill you're westernised values on the rest of the world through a design concept?

stingerstyler on Apr 02 '06

Well thank you, but I'm NOT from the US. Did you even try to wonder about the word "Utopian" here? The idea was that it would be good if everyone could have food (and there is good/healthy stuff in there too, but the contest is about Extra Tasty).

katoon on Apr 02 '06

I think this is a pretty good design, and moderately funny at that.
I have to agree with Eggie though, this is way too similar to "Operation Sweet Tooth" to ever be printed. Probably a good idea to take a look at the printed designs to see what's already been done.
