99 *Chinese Symbols*

I was walking across St. Mark's Place — oh, about eighteen days ago — when I saw this new signage in the window of the beloved 99 <Chinese Symbols>:

New signage.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered something peculiar:

Peculiar.

Which is it? 99 Favor Taste (or close approximation), or 98 Favor Taste? Do Chinese readers get one more favor taste? I wonder what it is?!

Upon even closer inspection, I discovered that the vinyl (?) was applied in a sloppy fashion.

Behold:

 A crease.

There's a crease in it!

Maybe the 99th favor taste was the tip of the owner's boot!
