Not only have I never seen them before but what the heck are they supposed to mean.?

I wonder what that is.
Part of my job includes doing what is called a breakout. This is pulling the various frozen dough products to be baked the next day. For over 20 years I've been doing this. Yesterday I saw something I have never noticed before. I had just pulled a new case of pumpernickel bread from the freezer. The box looks the same as it always has except what are those markings? I've never seen those before.
Not only have I never seen them before but what the heck are they supposed to mean.?

First one of the year
I've talked before about the annoying cake order I've gotten at work. This is the first one for 2020
It started with a deli girl taking a phone order. She comes to me saying the customer wants to know if I can do Batman. I say I don't have anything Batman to put on a cake and I can't draw anything because of copyright infringement. She goes back to the phone finishes the order and then comes and tells me she wants a cake for two people. One side is for a boy and she wants a soccer ball, the other side is for a girl and she wants unicorns.
A couple days later there is a note hanging when I get to work. It says customer called back, wants one side of the cake to have a ninja playing soccer and the other side unicorns and ballet slippers..
Now I need to make a call. I tell the lady I do flowers and I can handle a ball or something simple but I don't do ninjas or unicorns or ballet slippers. I say I can do the soccer ball and pink and purple flowers on the girls side.
My order form now looks like this.
Even after talking to her myself I still wasn't sure what she wanted on the girls side. I suggested flowers and then she said something about a basketball. Oh and lets not forget that I hate doing tons of colors. Would you like to count the number of different colors on this cake with me? That's 7 different colors.
Did she like it? I have no idea. It said that she would be there 10am at the earliest to pick it up but when I left at 2:30 she still hadn't picked it up.

A year in review part 4
Today we finish off 2019 with the last three months of the year
In October this guy was a regular visitor to my front yard. I stopped filling my feeder when he started showing up with friends.
November I was working on making Christmas decorations. I made quite a few of these.
December was over in a blink of an eye. Christmas eve was fun times with my my family.
Now that I've looked back at 2019 I guess it's time to get busy and start making new memories for 2020.
