Description: GIANT MICROBES PETRI DISHLISTERIA (Listeria monocytogenes) 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 LISTERIA PETRI DISH, which had been part of a trade show display, but which had been opened by a nosey customer. Want to save on your next bout of LISTERIA, enough to buy a small bottle of LISTERINE (NOT the plush kind?)? 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! 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! All new materials ONLY Stuffed with Polyester Fibers Approximately 3 1/2" long, 1" wide, and 1 1" thick.Its flagella extend over 2"+ each.These measurements are estimates ONLY as I am NOT opening these packages to be more accurate. Each Giant Microbes Petri Dish contains a photo of the actual microbe, taken through a microscope,as well as educational (and Interesting) information inside. Giant Microbes--a million times actual size!For anyone with a healthy sense of humor...and an appetite for properly prepared food!
