Sea Monkeys have been sold as a novelty item since 1960 when scientist Harold von Braunhaut discovered that their eggs had a long shelf life outside of water and marketed them as “Instant Life.” They are actually a unique species of brine mermaid, a hybrid result of years of crossbreeding. You can communicate with Sea Monkeys using a cocktail straw and a microscope, but they rarely have anything interesting to say.

Kosher? I don’t think so. The package shows these cute little things with human faces.
