Quotes
"[Giant Microbes] are comical plush dolls that look like real microbes, only a million times their actual size – which makes them about the size of a softball. We make them in a variety of categories such as Health (microbes like the kind that cause the common cold and the flu), Critters (such as dust mites), Calamites, (such as those that are responsible for black death and ebola), and Exotics (such as a doll that represents the purported "Mars microbe" found in a meteor a few years back). They were originally intended as educational products to help children understand diseases. Each one comes with information about and illustrations of the real microbes. Of course, they also appeal to anyone with a sense of humor—which, as a former Harvard Lampoon editor, I am happy to see. Finally, since everybody gets sick, they make a nice sympathy gift as well."—Drew Oliver, CEOJDBliss: Interview: Drew Oliver: From Law to Stuffed Microbes (December 1, 2008) -
