Sea-Monkeys® | |
|
Sea-Monkeys are a trademark given to sell brine shrimp that originate in salt lakes and evaporation flats. In the UK in the 1970s they were marketed under the name "Artful Arties". Sea Monkeys were first marketed in
1957 by Harold
von Braunhut as "Instant Life", though Braunhut changed the
name to "Sea-Monkeys" on May 10, 1962. The name was chosen because of their
playful, monkey-like behaviour. Braunhut is also the inventor of X-Ray
glasses. For many years, "Sea Monkeys" were
known for their exaggerated advertisements and packaging, which
featured smiling anthropomorphic creatures who bore little resemblance
to their true appearance. Sea-Monkeys®are
a true
miracle of nature. They exist inside their tiny eggs for many years.
The instant-life crystals, in which the eggs are enclosed, preserve
their viability and help to extend still further their un-hatched life
span. Sea-Monkeys are like time-travelers, asleep in biological time
capsules for their strange journey into the future!
The joy of watching
Sea-Monkeys grow offers a lot more than just
pure fun. It is one of the outstanding educational experiences of a
lifetime, because the entire life-cycle of these unique creatures are
fully recreated. Conceived in 1960 as a biological novelty, the
“fantasy” has transformed into brilliant reality.
