The kids at ThinkGeek have made good on their promise to create the April Fool’s Day joke turned real product, the 8-bit tie. The tie is now in stock at ThinkGeek’s online store for the low price of $US 19.99. The handmade polyester will make you the envy of your dorky friends and the shame of whatever family function for which you’re forced to dress formally. For extra nerd cred… it’s a clip-on!
