Giant Microbes

A co-worker told me that one of the weirdest Christmas presents she got this year was two Giant Microbe plush dolls.

I went to their website to investigate and my mind could not comprehend the merchandise sold in this site. What they did was take a microbe of known illnesses, blew them up 1,000,000 times thier original size, and made adorable plush toys out of them. Now you can own cute versions of

The Flu

I laughed so hard when I learned this wasn't a hoax.

:lol: I know someone who would love one of these.

Do you have the website from which you can order?

Im totally getting my girlfriend the mono one.

I get weird pill rep stuff from my mom from time to time. They seem to have all sorts of weird "chicken" promotional stuff from all the new drugs that come out now. I have some squishy inner body parts. I think we have some plush disease also and also pill mascots.

Its crazy how the pill revolution is going so out of control. They even have marketing teams.

I have to upload some pictures of my syphillis lunchbox. I have a little rubber syphillis but it'd be cool to have plush dolls of all the STD's.

Only one thing to do- start constructing your own hideous abomination out of spare promo items. We need an anatomically accurate scale model squishy human-like creature. :)

If they slap serial numbers on them, and "retire" certain diseases every few months, fat housewives all across America will buy them.


( The above statement is a sure-fire way to get rich in America)

Heh, I like those. I like Stomach Ache the best.

Didnt know HIV, Hepatitis C and the common cold looked the same...

You know I could just see kids asking for these for Christmas: " Mommy, I want Mono and HIV PLEASEEEEE!!"
