I remember those stickers-parents used to be able to get them for free or really cheap. My sister and I always played with them, had them all over the place as decorations >.<

Had them in Indiana too.  I always thought it was silly, as if its ok to go chug something under the kitchen sink as long as it didn't have some sticker on it...

The sticker program was started partly because the old poison warning symbol of skull and cross bones was being co-opted by kids playing Pirates and drinking poison. 

Arrr matey!  Bring on the rum!
