I found this today down at the local grocery store, right next to the Valentine’s candy.

The package states that it’s “Fun & Educational!” – what part of this is “fun”?

I haven’t opened the package, since it’s so beautiful just the way it is. Instead I just stuck the whole thing to the kitsch bulletin board in my office. What can I say? I’m a sucker for packaging.

    Unbelievable that they would celebrate plagues as toys! Haven’t we Jews been tortured enough?! And incredible it was in a grocery store, next to Valentine’s Day candy! Talk about wrong!!

    I’m a sucker for packaging as well, and have tons of things I won’t use because I love the packaging. I often buy two so I can use what’s inside but not lose the beauty of the wrapping.

    Cheetah– this is beyond fantastic. If you ever open this package, PLEEEEEASSSSE take a picture of the puzzle of the death of firstborn. And I also wouldn’t mind seeing the “sticky hand with boils.” Can’t believe this is marketed for kids “ages 3+”!
