What are they? I see them on the shelves at toy stores? If they are what they say they are, why are they in a box? I'm not going to say what I think they are until I've gotten some more replies. So feel free, what do you think they are?

Sea-Monkeys are a trademark given to sell a variant of brine shrimp or Artemia salina, now called Artemia salina x nyos that originate in salt lakes and evaporation flats and are members of the phylum Arthropoda

Not so much. Many people were more spoiled. But I'm a 70's and 80's child. When parents where trying to give their kids more than they had.
