If you've lived in the past twenty years, you've at least heard of the Star Wars movies. One of the main plot points of this series of movies is the Force, a mystical, magical power that has a good side (the Light Side) and a bad side (the Dark Side). The main villain, Darth Vader, is a master of the Dark Side of the Force. He can use it to throw people around, jump long distances, and even choke people without touching them. One of his famous lines is 'Come to the Dark Side'. That line is part of what forms the basis of this Welcome to the Dark Side We Lied About the Cookies Patch, one of the Cheap Place's New Patches.
What do cookies have to do with this movie? Before the Internet, nothing. But one popular meme, or online joke, involves Darth Vader holding a plate of cookies. The caption reads, 'Come to the Dark Side. We have cookies'. He's trying to bribe people to turn evil. But according to this patch, once you get to the Dark Side, you'll learn that they lied about the cookies! The cookies are a lie! But you've already committed to being evil.
This patch measures four inches wide by an inch and a half tall, which is standard size for a sayings patch. The text is embroidered in white on a black background, and the patch features thick die cut black borders that make it very easy to sew it on to leather or nylon. If you're putting it on any other type of material, you can iron it on. The iron will melt the plastic that coats the back of the patch, permanently attaching it to the item.
