We will be straight with you, as we are with all our stickers: this is vinyl and a punchline, not a talisman, and it wants a squeegee rather than a moonlight cleanse. Its lineage is cultural. The format riffs on a famous fantasy-literature warning about meddling in the affairs of wizards, and somewhere in the fan culture of the late twentieth century the dragons variant arrived with its immortal nutritional clause, spreading through conventions, Renaissance faires, and Pagan festivals until it earned permanent shelf space beside the witches version.

Dragons themselves carry genuine weight in modern practice, guardianship, strength, and elemental power in the dragon magick current, and the joke works precisely because everyone involved respects the source material. A creature that hoards treasure and breathes fire has earned the right to a condiment preference. The sticker deploys no protection; it deploys a grin, and traffic could use more of those.

1. Clean the target surface with rubbing alcohol and let it dry fully.
2. Peel the backing, place one edge first, and smooth outward to chase air bubbles.
3. Press firmly along all edges and give it a day to cure before car washes.
4. Drive on, secure in the knowledge that you have warned everyone fairly.

Application to laptops, lunchboxes, and dungeon-master screens proceeds identically.

• Do Not Meddle in the Affairs of Witches Bumper Sticker: the sibling warning, for bumpers that cover both jurisdictions.
• Do You Believe in Magick? Bumper Sticker: the friendly question to soften the two warnings.
• Dragon Call Poster, 8.5" x 11": the serious side of dragon culture, for the wall at home.
• Dragon Adjustable Ring, Sterling Silver: the guardian worn by drivers who take the affairs of dragons personally.
• White Sage Smudge Sticks, Set of 6: for the car's interior; the exterior is under draconic advisement.

Where does the crunchy-and-ketchup line come from?

It is fan culture's escalation of a famous fantasy-literature warning about meddling with wizards: the dragons variant with its nutritional clause spread through geek and Pagan communities decades ago and never left. Nobody owns a good joke this old; everybody quotes it.

Is this an actual protective ward?

No, and we will not pretend otherwise: it is a vinyl sticker with impeccable comedic timing. Dragon guardianship is real symbolism in modern practice; the ketchup is strictly editorial.

Will it survive weather and car washes?

It is a standard adhesive bumper sticker built for outdoor duty. Apply to a clean, dry surface, press the edges well, and give it a day to cure before washing.

Can I put it somewhere other than a car?

Anywhere smooth and clean: laptops, game-night gear, lockers, and office doors are all traditional. The warning is jurisdiction-independent.

Witches version or dragons version?

The witches sticker threatens amphibian consequences; the dragons sticker cites the menu. Connoisseurs of the genre generally conclude the bumper has room for both.
