'Who licked a toad?' Aussies cracking up over heinous Rockmans shirt

"This is a life-changing moment, and you will never be the same again."

Why are girls' t-shirts so different? This mum is calling it out

When it comes to fashion, there is always going to be an item or a trend that you don’t like. Maybe it’s ballet flats, skinny jeans, or those see-through lace skirts.

But, it seems the internet has found a piece that nobody is going to like.

“Who licked a toad and designed this?”

Aussie author Kate Forster has taken to TikTok to share a piece she promised would be memorable to say the least.

“There are moments in your life where you just remember where you were when you heard the news,” she begins.

“Princess Diana’s death, the second tower going down, COVID and everyone having to work from home - just big, significant, life-changing moments.

“I want you to take note of where you are when I show you what I’m about to show you, because this is one of those moments. This is a life-changing moment, and you will never be the same again.”

In a turn of events, we’re next taken to the Rockmans website, which is under new ownership.

And, I’m starting to think the new owners should give it back, as we’re shown the brand’s Excelina Cat Print Top.

The top is absolutely heinous to say the least, and features a cat peeking out of an open zipper.

“Who licked a toad and designed this?” she asks.

A quick Google search will tell you that the shirt design is actually pretty popular, for some reason. But, that didn't stop people from being shocked.

“I was NOT prepared”

Needless to say, commenters were, for the most part, in agreeance about the shirt, which retails for $19.99 (and to be honest, you’d have to pay me more than that to wear it).

“I was NOT prepared,” said one commenter.

“Funny, for once I don't mind if it's not a size inclusive range,” another joked.

“I was preparing myself and I will never forget the chair I fell off to scream on the floor laughing…. This is Rockmans on Temu. This is Rockmans saying we were bad but let’s get worse,” said a third.

“That’s ridiculous. I’ll take 12.”

Thankfully for Rockmans, though, there were a few people who got behind it - for different reasons.

“The fact that I would 100% wear that,” said one person.

“That’s ridiculous. I’ll take 12,” another said.

“might have to buy it for whenever i need a laugh,” another person added.

There’s a market for everything!
