What Does a Pirate Popper Look Like?

"Why is this a pirate popper?" The customer had a confused look on her face. She was holding a small pink plastic half disc. It did not look like a proper pirate accoutrement - I could see why she was asking. I came out from behind the desk to try to clarify, and I saw the sign, sitting in the little display of pastel colored poppers. "Pirate Poppers - $1.00." I remembered the poppers we used to have - they were black, with a skull and crossbones. When stock got low, I had combined them with the regular poppers and I forgot to change the sign. "These are NOT pirate poppers - these are just regular poppers" I explained, grabbing the unfortunate sign. We have a lot of improperly labeled boxes in our stockroom - something sells out and we use its box to store something else - and these misleading labels are less than helpful when training a new employee - but we really try to have our signs right out front ! (note to loyal blog readers: I apologize for the cheesy quality of these photographs which I took myself on the back desk.)
