Whoa, went down the rabbit hole LOL ~ there’s a dark side to sea monkeys, thanks to Harold von Braunhut!!
Now I get the brine soup mix part ( he sold his pet come to life in packets of 3) – evolution of the fittest, here, rebranded sea monkeys.

Thief, thanks for the Cali tip ~ had no idea:) Or about instant life and brine pets!!
Will reread your piece :)

And see you really do love pineapple and it inspired this piece 🍍💛

So multilayered !!
