in the 70s, Toys of the Seventies

Comments left:	One of the biggest con jobs a novelty company pulled over a span of 25 years or more. The original, Honor House, sold these, and had the moola to advertise in most every mainstream comic book company (Marvel, DC, Archie). The Sea Monkey ads began appearing around 1960, continuing well into the 1980s. Yes, it was aimed at kids, and kids were gullible. Among the other clever toys Honor House (and succeeding companies) pushed on kids included the "Moneymaker," in which you'd appear to be cranking out genuine dollar bills from blank pieces of paper. Others included chewing gum with onion or hot pepper flavor. Many of those novelty items leaned on the weird side of marketing.
