The Temu Pig Shirt: Why Can’t I Escape This Cursed Garment?
Okay, real talk. If you’ve spent any time on Twitter this past weekend, you’ve probably been bombarded by memes about that Temu pig shirt. You know the one. The incredibly bizarre ad featuring a, shall we say, portly pig chilling in a sauna, looking like it just had the most relaxing steam of its life.
Seriously, it felt like every other tweet was about this shirt. I couldn’t escape it! It was like the internet collectively decided to descend into madness, and this pig was our unholy mascot.
But how did we get here? Why is this shirt suddenly everywhere? And the most important question of all: can you actually buy this monstrosity?
Let’s dive in.

The internet, in its infinite wisdom, responded with a mix of confusion, amusement, and outright horror. Memes were born, jokes were cracked, and the Temu pig shirt became a viral sensation for all the wrong reasons.
But here’s the kicker: despite the widespread mockery, the shirt apparently sold like hotcakes! It seems there’s a market for everything, even oversized tees featuring slightly unsettling cartoon pigs.
Now, for the burning question: can you still get your hands on this infamous garment? While Temu seems to have discontinued some versions of the pig shirt (perhaps due to the sheer volume of memes), fear not! A quick search on their website reveals that you can indeed still purchase this piece of internet history.

Apparently, the demand for this swine-tastic garment was so overwhelming that Temu decided to double down on the chaos. You can now snag this “stylish” (their words, not mine) shirt for either £4.49 or £7.69, a steal considering it was originally listed at a whopping £29.99. Who needs food or rent when you can have a shirt that will haunt your nightmares forever?
And get this, it’s the sixth best-selling item from the provider! Clearly, I’m out of touch with the fashion elite. I mean, who wouldn’t want to strut around town looking like they lost a fight with a particularly flamboyant pig?
But wait, there’s more! The shirt boasts a glowing 4.6-star rating, with one satisfied customer raving about its “fantastic quality” and “excellent price.” Apparently, it fits “very well” too. Because comfort is key when you’re rocking a shirt that looks like it was designed by a committee of sleep-deprived clowns.
And the best part? There are actual photos of people wearing this shirt “in the wild.” One brave soul named Terrie Symonds even shared a picture of herself and her friends sporting this and other equally cursed items for their “shit t-shirt night.” Turkey, you have been warned.
If Temu is sold out of that hilarious pig shirt everyone’s talking about, don’t worry! Zerelam.com has it in stock.
