A common misconception, comfortably corrected.<\/span><\/p>

Featuring vintage-style artwork paired with a gentle pedantic truth, this relaxed oversized T-shirt celebrates one of Britain\u2019s most commonly misunderstood expressions.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cDamp squib\u201d refers to a firework that fails to ignite after getting wet. Squids, meanwhile, are already wet.<\/span><\/p>

Made from 100% organic cotton and printed with water-based vegan inks, this oversized fit is designed for those who appreciate language, curiosity and the occasional unnecessary correction.<\/span><\/p>

Each garment carries a QR code on the label, allowing worn-out items to be returned and remanufactured into new products. Because some things deserve a second life. The moisture levels of squid are not among them.<\/span><\/p>","metaTitle":"NOT a Damp Squid | Mind the Misconception Collection","metaDescription":"Funny \u201cNot a Damp Squid\u201d oversized organic cotton T-shirt featuring vintage artwork and a classic phrase misconception.","metaImage":null,"noIndex":false,"giftWrapCompatible":true,"approvalStatus":"approved","ecoIcons":[],"isBundle":false,"specifications":"Certified organic cotton t-shirt made with mid-weight 230 gsm fabric.
