NEW YORK -- If you want to show your support for New York City's war on rats, the Department of Sanitation is now selling a t-shirt.

It features the phrase, "The rats don't run this city, we do."

The phrase went viral in October after Sanitation Commissioner Jessica Tisch said it while announcing new trash pick-up times.
