In an inset cartoon, a white, heteronormative HUMAN family--Dad, Mom with blonde hair, and two boys--is gazing excitedly into a bowl full of tiny critters. Text: "Enter the Wonderful World of Amazing Sea-Monkeys! Own a BOWLFULL of HAPPINESS! Instant Pets! Just add water--that's all! In one second your amazing Sea-Monkeys actually come to life!
