I “thought” it would be a good idea

By

Well…I had an awesome idea that if I combined my newly purchased Uranium Ore and a container of Marshmallow Fluff, the outcome would result in a smaller version of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. However…what soon followed my unfortunate science/cooking experiment was the creation of something that resembled a 10-foot-tall adaptation of the Michelin Man meets Chuck Norris! Immediately upon its creation I received an unprovoked roundhouse kick to my face…fortunately, his marshmallow-pillowy-like foot softened the impending blow. We battled through the kitchen, then it saw the open door. As soon as this sticky-sweet creature made it outside…it escaped. So I guess this “review” is more of a public service announcement…I probably should’ve said that first.

The Traveler’s Friend

Whenever I fly, I always pack a can of this wonder stuff in each piece of my luggage. As we all know, so many bags look alike. How often do you get to your hotel, only to find you have walked away with the wrong bag, and are forced to wear a stranger’s underwear for the rest of the trip? We’ve all been there, right? So when that confusing luggage starts whirling around the baggage claim carousel I just whip out my Geiger Counter and let the Uranium Ore go to work for me. I merely wait for those comforting clicks (and after longer flights, look for the glowing hot spot), and I know I have found my bags. Occasionally, airlines lose my bags (yes, it does happen, people). But whenever I fill out that claim form and let them know my Uranium Ore is missing—well I tell you, they literally SPRING into action. They’ll track down that errant bag faster than you can say “Chernobyl.” And I cannot tell you how many new friends I have made in TSA and Customs since I’ve adopted this sure-fire system. Nothing brightens their day quite like finding a traveler with potentially fissionable material. Throw away those gaudy rainbow-bag straps forever and step into the atomic age. It’s no longer just Uranium; it’s my-ranium. Thanks, Amazon!

Hard to Find Refill for Madame Curie Play Set

My daughter was heartbroken when she ran out of the uranium ore supply that came with her Madame Curie Playschool set. These things always happen at the most inconvenient times…in this case, when she was almost halfway through recreating the Theory of Radioactivity. Of course, she has done this already over 20 times (and demonstrated the difference between polonium and radium), but like most 8-year-olds, if she likes something, she just does it over and over again! My husband and I looked everywhere for the uranium ore refill, and I don’t have to tell you how hugely popular the Madame Curie play set was over Christmas! The refill was sold out everywhere…even in Toys“R”Us and Costco. Finally, we found it on Amazon. The price is a bit high, but it is certainly worth our daughter’s happiness. She’s been looking a bit pale lately (she’s always been a little anemic), and this will certainly brighten her day!

Package was leaking when it arrived but I believe that’s an old custom in the industry so I haven’t marked it down. Both the kids and our cat have had a great time playing with this since it came and I’ve saved electricity as they can play with it in the dark. Indeed, I can now play with the kids and the cat in the dark. Super stuff and I’m buying more for all my friends.

Great Product, Poor Packaging

by

I purchased this product 4.47 Billion Years ago and when I opened it today, it was half empty.

4.5 out of 5 stars

Name:
     
Accoutrements Horse Head Mask

ASIN:
     B003G4IM4S

Price:
     
$39.95

We’ve discovered yet another universal truth—a person wearing a Horse Head Mask looks downright disturbing. But don’t take our word for it; wear this latex mask with realistic fur mane to your next social function and watch as people scramble to avoid you. Fits most adult heads. Bagged with illustrated tag.
