I remember ordering those packs of seeds to sell … sold my lot, took my cut … tried planting some of the vegetables … a year later, one sprig of lettuce grew where the garden had been … good `ole days … :)
My SkilCraft Microscope Lab came with brine shrimp (aka sea monkeys). I can remember watching them dance around under the scope. There is about half a tube of eggs left. I wonder if they are still viable after 60 years.
Ever play with a maze that had mercury in it? Is one of your fondest memories a plastic horse that you rode on many an imaginary adventure? (Mine was Blaze the Wonder Horse; don’t know how my folks found one they could afford at the time). Did someone from an earlier generation show you how to make a toy they made before mass manufacturing, like shingle arrows, a handmade doll, a hoop and stick, a top? Did you ever go fishing with a bamboo pole?

You’re also a plugger if you didn’t expect them to be brine shrimp.

He’s been waiting a long time—-and his waiting isn’t over since it has been 15 or 20 years since I have seen an ad for ‘sea monkeys’ ! ! ! !

Boy, does that bring back some memories. My sister had some of those back in the mid 70’s

I’m still waiting for the X-ray glasses.

Yeah, they were one of the early scams back in the fifties along with the x-ray glasses. The palm buzzer at least worked, for a little while.

Nope, had them come (and go) many times, along with a few shipments of ants for my ant farm.
