Melissa was at a flea market where someone was selling this bag of "checkers" along with a homemade checker board. I don't know what is really in there. "Love"?
Yeah, I read that article and it led me here! I've been looking through and I never realized there were so many quotation mark catastrophes. It is sickening.
I find it endearing. The bag realizes that it may, in fact, be used to store things other than checkers, so, in an attempt to avoid deceit while still explaining its intended function, it expresses skepticism as it instructs the reader regarding its purpose.

Ah, yes. That's where I keep my pot.
You don't want to know what's in that bag.
Was this flea market by any chance in Yorba Linda, California?
