Robin Sparkle Fans, Get Your Own Tour T-Shirt

July 23, 2007

If you were like me, a fan of the CBS comedy How I Met Your Mother, then you laughed hysterically at the “Slap Bet” episode.  Now, you can have a memento to remember that very episode.

Glarkware is now offering Robin Sparkles Mall Tour shirts that say “Let’s Go to the Mall” with a list of Canadian Malls on the back.

Robin Sparkles Tour ShirtIf you remember the episode, Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) and Marshall (Jason Segal) find out that Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders) has a secret, one that keeps her from going to the mall.  Barney, ever the pure of mind, thinks she’s a porn star while Marshall simply thinks she’s married.  The two enter a slap bet over the matter.

 I’m not sure what’s funnier, the etiquette of the slap bet or Robin’s secret — a pop star in Canada named Robin Sparkles that sang about going to the mall.  Apparently the ’80s came to our northern neighbor a decade late.  Need a laugh, check out the music video.  Or watch the entire episode again. 

In the meantime, don’t forget to order your Robin Sparkles t-shirt.  I’ll be telling my husband where to buy me one.  And then let’s all go to the mall!
