Wow! I remember ordering these from the back cover of a magazine, so I sent away for them. I ended up with green water and little worms swimming around...not at all what the ad claims...

Actually they're microscopic brine shrimp found in the Great Salt Lake. If kept dry, the eggs can survive for years. Once put back into the water, they will hatch.

I remember waking up to a freezing bedroom and frozen sea monkeys....

Remember seeing this ad on the backs of Archie and Sad Sack comics - wow, that really takes me back...

Some of the best marketing in the world (at the time).

Todays best marketing is: 100% all beef patties.

All beef patties? I think ingenious marketing is Taco Bell. They serve meat tacos. That is what the sign says. "meat tacos." I find the word "meat" to be a little vague and ambiguous in this description. Are we referring to a animal with hooves?

That's what I mean. BEST MARKETING was the "100% all beef patty" more like 50% beef, 25% sawdust and 25% something grey .
