Sunday I received a voice mail from my manager at work, John.
"Don't make the popcorn until I get in. I'm bringing green food coloring."
Ok. No problem.
So, when he came in today he must have DUMPED the food coloring into the kettle instead of just a few drops. The popcorn definitely came out green, but it looked awful. One could say moldy. So the morning goes on, the regulars come in and get some of the St. Patrick's Day Popcorn and continue on their day. Around 11am Clint from the SC Aquarium stops by and heads straight to the popcorn machine.
"Cool! Green popcorn!"
Clint shops around and comes up to the counter after a few minutes to ask a question. He opens his mouth and we (the employees) burst into laughter. His entire mouth and all visible teeth had turned COMPLETELY green, like he'd been drinking green beer all morning and finished it off with a bucket of kelly green paint.
"What's so funny??"
"Dude, go look in the mirror."
"WHY."
"No really. Go. Look. In. The. Mirror."
"You guys have been waiting for this haven't ya."
"We had no idea THAT would happen!!"
"You guys are so full of shit! Hey, maybe I can use this to get out of work!! Sweet! 'Uh yeah, I'm not feeling to good... Is my tongue green??'"
Luckily Clint likes to joke around as much as we do. He went back for a second bag.
About 30 minutes later after we stopped laughing, John put a hand written sign on the popcorn machine: "WILL turn teeth & tongue GREEN", but this being retail NO ONE read the sign.
"What's this green stuff on my fingers?"
"The same green stuff that's all over your lips, teeth, and tongue."
It was a good day. Damn I wish I took the camera.

Didn't that shit turn the popper green too??
Nope. Put the coloring in the kettle while it was popping.
Hilarious!!!
