Imagine opening your bin and you see the death stare of the bootleg sea monkey bear stare into your soul

[sierram]

You’re usually so calm and positive that it was kind of funny hearing the way you talked about this 😂 I think it’s important, though.

That super close up of the dead brine shrimp was amazing!! All those microscopic little animals feeding on her was fascinating! :O

"I can't believe it's not Sea-Monkeys!" Yeah I'm ripping off the margarine not butter thing for this 😂. A person without previous knowledge buying this would have probably not put as much work as you did and dump the salt in the small container and all the eggs and then wonder why it didn't work. Or at least dumped all the eggs in the container. And even if it has ended up being Triops they wouldn't have hatched in salt water. Thanks for reviewing this weird thing for us to watch 😂!

I love the fact that on the cover, the lobster rudely blocks the octopus

[SithMami]

Lmao--"lovely American triops". That's hilarious. They almost look like they have little wings. Maybe we can call them "butterLIES", since they're already incorrectly named.

“Mmm, how bout NO?”
Damn that seemed personal 💀

[horenoria]

Its honestly delightful to see you post again, its been like 5 months since your last video, so a new upload is just a treat ^v^

[karla.c]

6:02 was definitely my favorite part! The big googly eyes staring straight at ya lol Cute brine shrimp :)

[TodMachin]

Wow. That really was a mixed bag of crap, John. That ending shot really summed things up nicely. I’m just glad the survivors got to transport to an Ocean-Zoo to be part of a larger community. The volume of knockoff Sea-Monkey kits never ceases to amaze me.

[I_Love_Learning]

I guess they're Ocean Orangutans!

[photobygil]

I love the thumbnail for this video - the expression of disbelief on that poor sea-monkey's face made me laugh out loud. Thanks for uploading another excellent look at the weird merchandising world of sea-monkeys (& their shameless imitators)!

[kittennamedtetra]

You're video was just recommended to me and i am already in love! I love channels that are informative, and I can tell you are very passionate too which great. 😊 Looking forward to watching your older and newer vidoes. 😊

[MarisolEarl]

Woah! Glad you're back, I was confused when you stopped uploading.

[LilBang-fi]

I laughed so hard when you said stupid bear head

[IrishFinalExit]

What fascinating interest and channel you have. I never thought about sea monkeys since childhood but it's endearing to see someone take this up as a hobby.

[IntergalacticDustBunny]

That bear lid really does scream "cheap Asian market knockoff"

[Furzinach]

The tank kinda look like chill guy (also I know this was made two years ago idk)😅

[Trtlman]

You're hilarious and your dedication to these animals is admirable. I don't even own or plan on owning sea monkeys but I subscribed anyhow.
