Mystic Pizza

I bought this "world famous" shirt when I stopped at a random thrift store while lost in Indiana on my way to Chicago. This shirt actually comes from Mystic Pizza in Mystic, CT. The Zelepos family bought the pizza shop in 1973, but it didn't become famous until 1988. A Los Angeles screen writer named Amy Jones vacationed in Mystic and was inspired by the town and pizza shop to write the classic film "Mystic Pizza" starring Julia Roberts. If you haven't seen it or ever heard or it, like me, it's a romantic comedy with Julia Roberts and a waitress in a pizza parlor, you can fill in the rest yourselves. Needless to say, the restaurant became quite popular, they now have multiple locations, a frozen foods line, and "world famous" shirts. Now, most people would like to think that Julia Roberts was the original owner of this shirt, but it's most likely a guy who went to Mystic Pizza while on vacation. He liked the food and decided to buy a shirt to remember the delicious food, and as a reminder to go rent "Mystic Pizza" because he had never seen it before. After watching it, he was so disgusted with himself he went crazy and disappeared, he's thought to be dead. After awhile the family just gave his clothes away. It's might have been owned by a number of people, who all suffered the same fate. Now I am kind of curious about the movie myself, but I like the shirt too much to risk ended up like the other guys. It's like "The Ring," you watch the tape because you're curious and don't think anything bad can happen, but after you see it, you can't unsee it and you ultimately die. This is a cursed shirted and I am scared.
