Some friends and I were having morning tea today and got to talking about our childhood and growing up and this topic came up.
One of our younger friends was talking about how when test tube babies first began being discussed on the news. She was aged about 5 or 6 at this time.
At the time she was a youngster and she believed that the babies grew inside these test tubes with the test tubes being replaced by bigger test tubes as the baby grew.
We all chuckled at that.
She was talking to her mother about it one day and asked if she could have a baby brother grown in a test tube so she could take him to school for news.
Her mother had to explain exactly what a test tube baby was.
Gee, Richo, the sellers saw them coming, didn't they.

Sea-Monkeys is a brand name for brine shrimpโa group of crustaceans that undergo cryptobiosisโsold in hatching kits as novelty aquarium pets.
Brine shrimp (aka sea monkeys) is the food they use at Sea Horse World
in Tassie. They supply the world with sea horses.
The sea monkeys on the back of my comics had little castles and what looked like crowns on their heads.
Here's a dog you can fit in your hand.
How about this wonderful soap? To get rid of unwanted flab and take years off your age.
Yeah, I remember those ads too, lol
But brine shrimp have got tails and almost crown thingies.
Good marketing ploy though
