It's just a toy!May 06, 2012
By Don
"Barrels of fun!"
When this toy first arrived, I was a tad disappointed, but since it was for my dog, it didn't matter what I thought. My dog Jonas showed little interest in the toy until we went outside.
I tossed it and braced myself for his disappointment. The last toy bought for him was twice the price as this POLIO Virus and when I tossed it, he returned with a pine cone instead of the toy. We went outside and I took along some sugar cubes to bribe him with, but they were unnecessary. Jonas enjoyed the toy and it's little flaps are easy to grab. He enjoys shaking and tossing the toy like it was a small child.
Under the description it states: "Laugh with your friends & family as you give them something unique!" We all had some good chuckles watching Jonas run around the yard with this giant POLIO microbe in his mouth. ' I won't let him jump in the lake with it, because I heard you can get POLIO form swimming in a warm lake, and I wouldn't want to contaminate the lake and end up getting sued by one of those TV lawyers for someone's kid's paralysis.
I can hardly wait to buy my next toy! It's tough deciding between the Giant Microbes Salmonella (Salmonella typhimurium) and the Giant Microbes Mad Cow (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy).
The little information provided was interesting, however not very educational but all I wanted was a toy anyway!
