Come to any of our Facebook lives, or bop around the Facebook Page or the Website, and it won't be long before you start to see things about "Pineapples" or "Poop Emojis"!
Here is the beginners guide to - What The Hell Is The Deal With All The Pineapples And Poop?!?!?!?! By Melanie! |
Pineapples!
The "Poop Emoji" thing actually came first but as it is more about the Pineapples at the moment, I am going to start with that!
It was July 2020 and a pandemic was sweeping the globe, the future seemed uncertain, but Musers don't let a little thing like that get in their way of coming up with new fun things! Every week during Facebook live Greg and I talk about shows we've found, and we had just discovered "Staged"
Staged is a Zoom type show, that although sort of scripted, basically had David Tennant and Michael Sheen "chatting" with each other, discussing roles, AND more importantly, how they were coping with being in "lockdown". David and Michael have an amazing chemistry, (if you haven't checked out Good Omens I highly recommend it) and season 1 of Staged was pure gold.

Although there were LOTS of hilarious moments, there was one out of them all that really struck a chord .... The Pineapple Scene! Regular followers will know that I have pretty much ZERO art and craft skills, but to add to this, Krista Meyers Gil (long time Muser and creator of See Rad - Click Here To See Her Channel) had just started doing videos on all things Baby Yoda INCLUDING some seriously crafting challenges, and I compared us to David and Michael. Even funnier was as I was saying it Greg chimed in with "and you would be David" (Yes he knows I have no craft skills), and suddenly Pineapples were a thing!

I started commenting on Krista's craft videos calling them "pineapple videos", Amazon sent me a Pineapple print (which I often show during live (pictured), and it has just grown from there. Musers being the amazing people that they are started sending in Pineapple themed things, that you might spot when you watch live! From a pineapple picture frame, to a stress ball, hand sanitizer case, Pineapple Petey (little dog), and so much more, the Muser Pinapple is here to stay! Thanks to Muser Ashley Brilinski, we even have a pineapple logo (now found on stickers).

So check out the scene from Staged below (with the pineapple incident) and then read down for "All About The Poop"!
Poop!
The story of the Muser Poop Emoji Connection –
You may not know this (although we have discussed it a few times on the lives) but the poop emoji was apparently originally designed as “Ice Cream”. Let’s be honest here – everyone thinks it’s a poop emoji, a cute little poop emoji, but poop nevertheless. When Facebook started acting all rubbish we would say it was being “Ice Cream” …. And it sort of grew from there.
Back when we used to have Trivia every week we wanted an old fashioned “booby prize” type option. We had 3 envelopes that the winner could “gamble” for, and the booby prize was a Poop Emoji Sticker mainly because I had a couple of sheets laying around and we thought it would be funny! (We currently have this back on the "Pineapple Wheel" Gamble section in the Live Shows).
Little did we know what we had started. Musers started collecting the Poop Emoji stickers as a sort of Muser claim to fame! It was like the elusive “Blankety Blank Check Book And Pen” (which probably means nothing to Americans – click here to learn more lol). And it just sort of grew and morphed into a Muser thing! (Does that sound a little familiar?)
At Christmas we adopted a rainbow singing poop emoji at Christmas (Sir Patrick Poopsalot – you can see him in action at the video below), Greg made some Muser Exclusive Pencils (One in the prize pack), and now it is just something every Muser comes to know and love! From stickers, to pencils, candy, and now a Mug – The Muser Poop Emoji Love is here to stay! (That and Pineapples lol)
