Swear jar

The swear jar is a fictional item featured in the continuity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It appeared in the Netflix television series Luke Cage.

Description
The swear jar was not an actual jar, but an old and emptied coffee container. It was owned by Henry "Pop" Hunter who kept it in his Pop's Barber Shop business in Harlem, New York City. One of Pop's rules towards maintaining a clean and friendly environment is that he discouraged swearing. Whenever one of his staff members, or customers used profanity or took the Lord's name in vain, Pop would insist that they would place money into the swear jar. Presumably, this money would eventually go to a good cause.

After a gangster named Tone shot up the barber shop killing Henry Hunter, and severely injuring Wilfredo "Chico" Diaz, Luke Cage sat in one of the barber chairs in shock, clutching the swear jar.

Luke later returned to the empty ruins of the shop, which was still a crime scene. He found frequent customer Bobby Fish inside. As the two spoke to one another, Bobby voiced his frustration over recent events. Luke prompted him to contribute to the swear jar.
