This is completely Zodiac-unrelated, but maybe some one here will get a kick out of this work-in-progress. I was going through some of my old stuff, and found this:
And here is the back:
Yes, Sea Monkeys. And yes, it is a packet from 1972. I’ve now put it in a clear jar with 12 oz. of water, and will wait the required 24-36 hours before I add packet 2 – "Instant Life."
Will 40 year old packets of Sea Monkeys come to life? I have no idea! But I see the jar half full. I’m an optimist!

Yeah, I’m imagining a conclusion something like this:

Only with more sea monkeys…
Wow. I remember that ad from comics I read in the early 70’s. (They were printed right next door to the "X-ray specs" glasses and the torch with the angle-poise head, for use when in your tree house.)
I’ve always wondered what was supposed to happen.
Wasn’t there also a photo of a beautiful sea monkey princess? I rather think there was.
I’ll be fascinated to hear (and see) what happens matey. Let me know if I can help somehow. Sending extra salt or something. Just ask.
They’ve surely mutated after 40 years:
WOW, sea monkeys! What a blast from the past. I remember eating my pop rocks and playing sith my sea monkeys when I was a kid. I say ‘playing with them’, but when I added water,nothing ever happened. LOL
There is more than one way to lose your life to a killer

WTF!
D., I want a sea princess picture please, to make me feel better!
Mike – eating your pop rocks eh? Must be a cultural thing – I’ll go Google, quick.
Found it:

Yeah. Not a Princess, but the sea monkey Mom in a crown, I suppose.
I always thought she was more than a little, uh, hot, you know. Must have been the intriguing nudity, and that smile.
And my being 13, of course. Wowsa.
Not quite so randy now I’ve read this, mind you.

Still have Pop Rocks…just don’t drink them with Coke! myth of course.
I’m not holding out much hope for your monkeys glurk…
Just an update. It’s been over 24 hours now, so I have gone ahead and added pack #2 "Instant Life" –
I’ve followed the instructions exactly, and so far – it turned the water slightly green…
No signs of life yet, instant or otherwise. But I’ll give it another 24. These are forty year old aged sea monkeys. They may not be as spry as they were in their youth.

Have you got the packet of little tiny crowns ready? When do you add that in?
I’m going to be really disappointed if Mom actually looks like Great Granny.
