Description: GIANT MICROBES PETRI DISHMRSA SUPERBUG STAPH(Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) 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! PLEASE NOTE: Thanks to the folks at Fed Ex, from time to time, some of these arrived damaged from rough handling during shipping. One of these DID suffer a crack in the Petri Dish as a result. It is still factory sealed and the microbes inside are fine and undamaged. This will be the last one that we send out, so if/when only 1 is still available, it WILL be this one. All new materials ONLY Stuffed with Polyester Fibers Approximately 2" wide, 2" deep, and 2 1/2" tall.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 FUN!) information inside. Giant Microbes--a million times actual size!For anyone with a healthy sense of humor! A NOTE ABOUT GIANT MICROBES: We carry almost the complete line of Giant Microbes products (including many retired designs) and have since the company first began. It is going to take a while for us to get them all up and listed on here but we ARE working on it. In the meantime...if you need any that we haven't listed on here yet, feel free to write and ask about our prices and availability. Yes, we usually have plenty! These are original, fully licensed designs that I am selling for $34.95 each which includes free shipping to anywhere in the U.S. You can combine this with other items that I am selling to receive a refund for each additional item after the first, once shipped.
