"Life Is Not a Strawberry" - Reality Check, Brazilian Style

If you know, you know. This perfectly literal translation of the Brazilian expression captures a truth that needs no sugar-coating: life isn't always sweet and easy. While English speakers say "life is no picnic," Brazilians know it's definitely not a strawberry either—and somehow that makes even more sense.

This design is for the realists who laugh in the face of toxic positivity. For those who understand that acknowledging life's challenges doesn't make you pessimistic—it makes you Brazilian. Whether you're nodding because you've heard this phrase a thousand times, or you're just discovering this delightfully blunt piece of Brazilian wisdom, this tee tells it like it is.

Made from 100% ring-spun cotton with a garment-dyed finish, this heavyweight unisex tee is built for real life (which, as we've established, is not a strawberry). Thick enough to handle whatever comes your way, soft enough to comfort you through the tough times, and breathable enough for when things get complicated. The relaxed fit works for everyone—perfect for those days when you need to wear your philosophy on your chest.

Because sometimes the best life advice comes from fruit metaphors that don't quite translate.
