Pinging a few of the Seinfeld connoisseurs.
I will plead guilty to owning a Vandelay Industries t-shirt.
We also gave my late father a Festivus Pole as a birthday gag as his birthday was Dec. 23, the date given for Festivus on the show.
I have a hot tub in my living room and I make salad in the shower.
One thing is certain. In these modern times of PC there will never be anything like it. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
So out of curiosity I just went to Amazon.com. Because there really couldn’t be a Vandelay Industries t-shirt. After all, it’s been 20 years since Seinfeld went off the air. Who would care at this point?
To my surprise, there are dozens and dozens available, in all sorts of designs.

Seinfeld was the last example of actual American comedy.
Because it died in the year 2008.
I used to be a fan and really enjoyed it but I stopped watching Seinfeld when they made fun of Christmas and Christians. I will never watch it again.
I’ve never watched a complete episode. I do use some expressions that I understand originated there.
She has man hands.
I watched one episode; worst TV series show ever.
The longest month I ever spent was one night in El Paso
I AM the MASTER of my own domain!
Unless the nurse if giving the female patient a sponge bath...
My son has one of those tee shirts. LOL
A (untainted) Fusilli Jerry would be a hoot.
I have all of the episodes from broadcast TV but was having a heck of a time getting the “The Puerto Rican Day” episode which is apparently too un-pc to be broadcast. I finally broke down and bought the episode off of Amazon so I now have the complete collection.
When we moved 9 years ago the telephone number we got previously belonged to a guy named Kramer. For the longest time if I didn’t recognize the caller ID I’d answer it “Kramerica Industries”. Drove my wife crazy but the callers we so confused it was worth it.
And for as long as I did it I never got one person who got it.
Do love the Vandelay Industries tee shirt. Only recently for the first time in my life I actually bought a tee shirt related to a TV show, a Pur N Kleen. Vandelay is on my list to be my second.
Unless I can find a Kramerica.....
He! took IT out
I really enjoyed Seinfeld. But some years after it first came on, I began to realize it was meant not merely as entertainment, but also to influence my thinking.
I stopped watching it.
Seinfeld is/was an extraordinary collector of Porsches. I think he auctioned some of them but I bet he retained a few of them.
Grabbed me the T-shirt. $13.98 delivered from eBay for XL
Returning to New York this summer. Once again we’ll be eating at tom’s restaurant... their building is the exterior opening shot of the coffee shop scenes. Great food and I recommend it. We’ll also be going to the Original Soupman, the successor business to the one that inspired the soup nazi. Apparently they really do have very good soup
I couldn’t stand the Kramer character. Beyond stupid.
The rest of the show was good.
