American retailer ThinkGeek now offers Twin Peaks plates, which are listed as officially licensed merchandise that celebrates the crime-riddled drama series that aired its first episode back in 1990.
The ceramic Twin Peaks plates are red and white, with the bright crimson featured on the textured exterior, while the white is featured on the interior, along with the quote, "This must be where pies go when they die," taken from a scene at a diner when one of the agents expresses his profound love for the dessert he receives there. This quote is featured in a circular fashion, around an image of cherries, which are framed in another pastel green ring.
The Twin Peaks plates are currently available on ThinkGeek's web store, for $30 USD.
