        @BoingBoing Here in Pakistan, I came across these in used Archie comics. Completely captured my imagination even as a kid in the 90's.

        @BoingBoing in the 60's, 70's never thrived- by the 90's a very hardy strain had been developed, but market was mostly gone.

        @gpsforthebrain @BoingBoing much better than none hatch at all (70's). My 90's experience, many small Sea Monkeys, then later, one huge one
