Decidedly clever little gizmo, reminiscent of our ever popular Tornado Tube. It consists of a plastic sleeve into which one screws two empty 2-liter soda bottles. Inserted into this connecting tube are two clear plastic "straws", one extending toward the bottom of each bottle. Fill one bottle 3/4 full of water, colored if you like, invert the duo, and watch water spew from the top end of the top "straw". It's all because of the vacuum created as water drains from one bottle to the other, and is a good physics demonstration item. But it looks as though the water defies gravity. Amaze everyone at your next party! Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a "Tornado Tube".

Triops: way cooler, bigger and more active than sea monkeys. They're dinosaur shrimp, leftovers from some 200 million years ago. Don't eat them; just grow them and enjoy this bizarre & ancient display of nature! You get a kidney-shaped tank 2-3/8" tall x 8-1/2"x 5-3/4", a very informative instruction booklet, and a packet full of triops eggs and food. Add the eggs to water and watch them go; they'll hatch in a day and reach 1" to 2" or more in a few weeks. Really easy to do, and really cool too.
