Seems like a really odd target market: kids who don't think bugs are gross, have moms who'll allow a box of live crickets in the house, have easy access to a source of live crickets, have parents who aren't totally weirded out by the idea of feeding a constant stream of crickets into this thing for a child's mild amusement as it rams into a table leg over and over again.
- yareally 11y agoMost likely they'd be playing with it outside (if kids still do that nowadays).
- jff 11y agoYeah but they're probably going to store their little collection of cricket pilots in a box inside the house... and if I know kids, they'll plop down at the kitchen table to load up a cricket before heading outside to play.
- yareally 11y agoPerhaps. I used to collect bugs in a jar (then release them later) on my parents' farm, but never brought them inside. However, can't speak for all children though. My brother on the other hand, I could see him doing something like what you described when he was a kid though.
