GONORRHEA "THE CLAP"
(Neisseria gonorrhoeae)
11/22/21 UPDATE: The folks at GIANT MICROBES recently cleaned out one of their closets and discovered all sorts of loose and unidentified diseases, along with a few old friends, such as a CLAP PETRI DISH, which had been part of a trade show display, but opened by a nosey customer. Want to save some $$ on your next case of THE CLAP? Just include a note asking for the "Opened one" and receive a $3.00 refund. Other than being opened, the little plush guys are brand new and waiting to be adopted! Ever think it was possible to feel sorry for some STD's? Thanks to the folks at Fed Ex, from time to time, some of these arrived damaged from rough handling during shipping. THIS SAME OPENED PETRI DISH DID suffer a crack in the dish as a result. NO RESPECT AT ALL, I TELL YA!
Years ago, Giant Microbes produced a line of Mini-microbes, packing 3 of the same microbe together in a clever "Petri Dish" packaging display. Obviously, Science Teachers LOVED them, while everyone else...not so much. Since our main customer base has always been Science Teachers, we sold a ton of these. However, most folks seemed more interested in the larger "regular sized" selections. The most common criticism/complaint from most "normal people" (As you suspected, Science Teachers do NOT fit into this category...and helps to explain why we LOVE THEM!) was that they didn't want 3 of the same microbe, instead wanting an assortment. As a result, this line was retired. HOWEVER, this led to the EXTREMELY popular series of "Theme
Boxes" which continue to be best sellers to this day. We have dug out what is left of our inventory from the "Petri Days" to offer all that we have left. If you would like to see more detailed photos (along with some general fun and silliness) from our regular size listing, please click HERE. I am NOT going to open these to provide photos of each individual microbe. SORRY!
April is STD AWARENESS MONTH. Celebrate by bringing home a new STD!
(We highly recommend a plush variety...or 3!!!)
