They still sell them. Anyone ever get some?

My daughter wanted Sea-monkeys once. Never bought em. :rolleyes:

[JetBoatRich]

Not since I was a kid, a few years back we had a strange guy at work. He would order these type things, he bought the monkey's and ordered a ant farm with ants. He put them on his desk, :confused:

[HCS]

Disposable Pets I guess. wink

Disposable Pets I guess. wink If you can teach them to do tricks, now that would be cool :D
Like at the Flea Circus :p

[FMluvswater]

Yeah. I did. When I was 12. I forgot about the poor little beasties and by the time I did remember the water had all dried up and there were little brown dots stuck to the sides of the fish bowl. :o There was quite a bit of left over sea monkey food. There are no other uses for sea monkey food. :( Cute little feeding spoon though. I think the vaccuum cleaner may have found that. :rolleyes:

i took this from "howsuffworks"
Sea Monkeys are really a type of brine shrimp, and brine shrimp are an incredibly cool life form. Brine shrimp are naturally found in salt lakes, like the Great Salt Lake in Utah. In a salt lake like this, the water is so salty that the only things living in it are the brine shrimp and certain types of algae on which the brine shrimp feed.
One of the things that make brine shrimp fascinating is their ability to lay encapsulated eggs called cysts. A cyst can dry out and remain viable for years. If you put brine shrimp cysts in salt water, they hatch very quickly, and the shrimp mature in about eight days. They can grow to be pretty big -- about half an inch (15 mm) long.
just in case anyone else was curious :D

Sea-Monkey lessons 101. :D

[JetBoatRich]

I feel a lot better knowing about the sea monkeys, I will share my new found knoledge with the kids.

[NorCal Gameshow]

the sandbar, not just for entertainment :D

[Mandelon]

My kids just got some. We'll see how they do. I like shrimp. BBQ'd, or with garlic and butter. What a great idea!!
I always remember reading the ads in the back of comic books. There was that picture of sea monkeys...I Almost got those X-ray vision glasses........now THAT would be cool!

[JetBoatRich]

Mandelon did the kids or you get them wink
How many times did you bring something home and tell the wife the kids are going to like this :D but inside it was for you.

[Mandelon]

Just the boat..... :D :D You referring to Little Rich's motorcycle maybe????? :D
You are right though..I did bring home BB Guns....they're fun. RC Cars and boat too.

[bchbum]

Just like everything else in life look at the inflation of the price. I think they were like $1 in the mid seventies when I was growing up. Maybe I should invest in Sea Monkey futures...Or not.

[Infomaniac]

We bought some when I was a kid. I think they are actually some kind of shrimp or something.

[DansBlown73Nordic]

Id rather just spank the Monkey.... eek! :p

[HCS]

Dans66Stevens:
Id rather just spank the Monkey.... eek! :p I can think of a lot of other things I would rather do with my monkey. :D

[sidewound]

WOW
I thought SEA MONKEYS were some deluded memory from the chemical ingestion days. They're real huh? Learn somthin old new every day.
Peace Man :cool:
CESAR

[Super D]

I bought 'em when I was little 'cause I thought they'd look like the comic book picture and I'd have naked little nymph creatures to oggle. Man, what a dissapointment...and then they dried up, too.
