Ship in a bottle

No one can say why or why not a phrase sticks in the lexicon and lore of Pentwater. Ship in a bottle is a great example of that. The story is a bit murky, but at some point young Casey brought home some wares from the local store (most likely Gustafson's). In any event, when Seth asked Casey what was in the bag that he brought home, Casey replied, "Candy and, ship in a bottle!" Ever since then, for whatever reason, it stuck!
