If you ever wondered who the genius behind the marketing of Sea Monkeys, “Invisible Goldfish" and X-Ray Specs was, this story reveals the truth. Click here for the story and original ads.

Does anyone remember seeing any of those ads appearing in comic books and other publications? It's rumored that Allen bought all three items.

I bought the sea monkeys. I really wanted those smiling, waving little pets.

I don't remember the invisible goldfish but I do remember the sea monkeys and x-ray specs.

I came close to writing a biography of Harold von Braunhut. It was about 5 years ago and publishers were keen on biogs of 'quirky' people. The trouble with von B. was that it would be difficult to write a sympathetic account due to his political views.

I love Sea Monkeys and I still regularly buy them.

Just for fun ... a trip down Sea Monkey lane!

I must admit, I bought the sea monkeys for my son as a pet - they were so tiny my son said 'is that it mum?' and that made me laugh.

Never seen the invisible goldfish though - lol!

Thanks for that. I think it's been over 20 years since I last saw the advert.

I missed the invisible goldfish, too. When did that come out?

I think some have used the invisible goldfish model in their
WSO ads... how to make invisible money.
