Lettuce is NOT the taste of sadness! Lettuce, true believers, is the taste of health! But if we're being honest, then yes, lettuce -- and any other leafy green vegetable sprouting from the ground and reeking of wet soil -- is seriously lacking in the taste department. In fact, there's zero taste -- only a crisp, alien texture that can't POSSIBLY relate to anything healthy. But it does, so we suffer through its tastelessness one excruciating nibble at a time. Peter Parker acknowledges the struggle, so he regularly wears his Lettuce The Taste of Sadness Men's T-Shirt. In fact, he was wearing it when that giant, floating ring appeared above New York. Yep, he was on a field trip when his "Spider-Sense" kicked in. He noticed the ring, demanded a distraction, and slipped out the window. Yep, it was a little odd to see Spider-Man swinging around with a 'Lettuce the Taste of Sadness' t-shirt for men. I mean, superheroes usually promote good health. It's a prerequisite to joining The Avengers.
