"Apples Don't Pay The Bills" T-Shirt

A clever twist on a classic design — this unisex tee features a witty worm, donning glasses, cheekily proclaiming "Apples Don't Pay the Bills" from within a crisp apple. This playful yet pointed message highlights the financial realities faced by educators, blending humor with a serious call to action.

Whether you’re an educator, student, or advocate for fair pay, this shirt combines whimsy, nostalgia, and activism into one bold visual statement that speaks for itself.
