Sea monkeys

Does everyone remember Sea Monkeys? Maybe your kids have some right now. Either way, Sea Monkeys were a rite of passage in the scheme of young childhood. They were right up there with pet rocks, fireflies in a glass jar with holes poked through the metal lid and the ant farms. Many hours were spent in front of that bowl just watching those Sea Monkeys hatch and play in the special solution that only they could live in.

Raising them took a little finesse, the temperature had to remain 79 degrees and above to ensure that they would hatch. There are tons of additional stuff that be purchased to make your Sea monkeys happier creatures. There are supplements to make them grow faster, appear redder and there is even some magical powder to make them much more interested in mating with each other. Sea Monkeys apparently are slightly afraid of marriage but you can help them for an additional three dollars. If the Sea Monkeys behave the way you want them to you can buy Sea Diamonds and they are the toys that the Sea Monkeys love to play with. There is even a banana treat that you can surprise them with to make them even better friends.

As adults, we all know that they are brine shrimp but they were special brine shrimp. How many fantasies and daydreams were had while watching those critters hatch and propel themselves across their little world? It never really mattered what they were, we all know that it was nothing short of magic
