The Matzoh T-shirt War

2004_11_matzoshirts.jpg

A small debate over at the Yada Yada Yada blog has started over brand t-shirts. Not just any t-shirts, but t-shirts featuring the logos of Manischewitz and Streit's. Is this the new Coke vs. Pepsi? McDonald's vs. Burger King? Gothamist is imagining loyalists of both brands making matzoh balls and throwing them at each other in an all out matzoh war.

Are matzoh eaters fiercely loyal to their brands. with the shirts a way of expressing that or are the shirts a mere fashion statement? Is there a noticeable difference between the taste of Manischewitz matzoh and Streit's matzoh? If you're loyal to the Cincinnati based Manischewitz, you can buy your shirt here and if you like the Lower East Side's Streit's, you can buy your shirt here. All with plenty of time until Passover.

I don't really care about the tshirts, but Streit's just tastes better, less salty.

No question about it, Manischewitz. They are Passover.

come on, is there any question of which logo or company is cooler? we're in ny, the old school LES streit's obviously wins.

Streit's is a 5th-generation family business, whereas...

"Since 1998, The B. Manischewitz Company, LLC has been a subsidiary of R.A.B. Holdings, which owns and operates the company. In August 2004, the company changed it's name from The B. Manischewitz Company, LLC to RAB Food Group, LLC."

Why is all that food beige?

Their shirts look too tight.

C'mon. It's enormously better to support your local businesses..... especially when they're the best. Buy Streit's Matzohs, and buy Streit's T's !

Horowitz Margareten. All the rest are far behind.

Actually, Manischewitz's headquarters are based out of Jersey City. It started in Cincinnati, though.
