Ting's Magical Fishing Talc

So since I was no longer naming the business after my grandpa, I decided to make this novelty gift. It goes along with his style of humor and also incorporates a few things about him, such as his love to go pick huckleberries.

I even decided to make up a whole story on how this "magical" talc came to be. The first paragraph is on the back of the bag topper.

From the product page:
"Ting's Magical Fishing Talc was discovered when my Grandfather Ting took a break from his fish hatchery duties to pick huckleberries in the mountains of Northeast Washington. While picking he heard a tiny cry for help and found a small fae creature stuck to a large spider web. Ting then freed the little faerie from imminent doom. Feeling obligated to repay Ting for his kindness, the faerie gave him a recipe for a magical powder. The faerie said the powe would make him the best fisherman in all the land. The recipe called for the spores of a Forelle Märchen mushroom and the juice of a perfectly ripe huckleberry.

Grandpa (Ting) never quite told me how this talc was supposed to be used. Through trial and error we have learned that it is for external use only and shouldn't be applied to sensitive parts of the body. We tried variations using other ingredients but all seemed to just cause clouds of noxious gas."

Fun Fact; If you translate Forelle Märchen into English it is "trout tale".
