Sea Monkeys

Who remembers Sea Monkeys? They were tiny little brine shrimp that were advertised in the back of comicbooks when I was a kid.

 

My parents actually bought some my brother and I. They were fun for two seconds. Then we got a lesson in false advertising.

    They looked like the stalactites from a cave. You would put the powder in a fish bowl with water and they would come together with a variety of colors. Boy it didn't take much to get our attention back then 😂

      They were kind of a rip off.
