Hermit Crabs These are actually much better pets than Sea Monkeys but the ads weren't nearly as cute. Not at first anyway. Full pages ads are expensive and artists cost money you know so in order to do it right, someone with a big budget was needed. That is where Harold Von Braunhut comes in. |

Harold Von Braunhut was the genius behind Sea Monkeys and a myriad of other mail order items so hermit crabs probably came naturally to him. Give them a cool cartoon persona, whip up some full page ads, and BLAMMO! One problem, however, is that hermit crabs are a lot fussier than Sea Monkeys when it comes to shipping. Too hot or too cold and they would die. Under normal conditions, killing off Sea Monkey eggs is pretty tough. We ordered Crazy Crabs but I can't recall how they did for us. Probably not too great. |
