This isn’t a swashbuckling pirate, this is your Uncle Jim who worked a gig at some kid’s vaguely pirate-themed birthday party

There’s not a single arrg bone in this guy’s body. He’s more of a “how’re ya doin’ kids, it’s me, the pirrrrate” kind of guy, you know?

Like, this dude just does NOT have the energy nor the strength to fire a cannon. You really think HE’S gonna take on a kraken? Nah, dude’s never even seen a seagull

You know where this dude lives? Probably some town in Iowa, near a Cracker Barrel

It’s in his eyes. I can tell

    They changed the ingredients too, tastes awful now. I’m not sure why they did a visual rebrand at the same time.

    I’ve heard the way back original creator is making a similar line of snacks but I haven’t tried those yet.

      The real pirate, now HE has seen some seven seas shit. He’s genuinely got the drive, the ambition for baubles and doubloons

      Just look at that crazy eye. Bro has yo’d some hella hos, and yar’d some hella hars

      Sidenote, the circular text and serif font just make the original logo FEEL nautical and official too

    I’m more upset that the parrot is just thrown in there like they forgot about it till the last minute. Why is he standing half off the booty when he should be on the pirate’s shoulder?? Oh right, because they took away the pirate’s shoulders and put him on a vine like he’s a goddamn monkey. And then they didn’t even outline or put any kind of shadows on the food he’s holding to avoid it blending into the light background, so it makes the concept of this monkey pirate man shoving his parrot companion aside to show off his booty extra dumb.
