The emoji t-shirt by Jac Vanek reads, "When Words Fail, Emojis Speak."

It's hard to imagine a time before the emoji. How did we communicate with one another without a smiley-face poop icon at our disposal? It's an honest to God mystery. This emoji t-shirt gives our thanks to the almighty emoji in a humorous way -- aforementioned smiley-face poop icon included. When you don't know what to say, the emoji comes through and saves the day! (That's a terrible rhyme, but also the truth).

Though we all benefit from the emoji, this t-shirt would be an awesome gift for the [social media superstar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emojify1) in your life. They know best of all the power of the emoji!
