SeaMonkeys: Jumbo Living Plasma

[Suzie-Q]

I can't find anyone on the web who sells Jumbo Living Plasma
for sea monkeys.

Does anyone have a source in the USA?

Could we please use the name 'brine shrimp' or 'artemia' instead of
"sea monkeys"?

"Sea monkeys" is a name drugged up in the 60's by a vendor of artemia
eggs in a successful bid to increase their market appeal. The animals
are in fact branchiopod crustaceans of the genus Artemia. They don't
do tricks, they don't climb trees, and searching for info on Artemia
will yield a lot more and above all more reliable information than
searching for "sea monkeys".

Just a pet peeve of mine.

Hells teeth, keeping in mind that campaign was targeting kids. You won't
attract kids attention by telling them "Get your branchiopod crustaceans of
the genus Artemia today" . Doh :)

Maybe it would help if you think of "monkeys" as a
term of endearment rather than something that is supposed
to describe the creature.

Mom's (human type) sometimes call their kids little monkeys.
Pet owners sometimes call there pets (dogs/cats) little
monkeys. Spouses sometimes call their spouses monkeys. So
I call my little sea creatures sea monkeys.
