You don’t buy individual packets of ketchup for a barbecue, and you don’t buy tiny bottles of lube for a party. This barrel will last all night long, no matter haw many people you are hosting.

Hazard for cats

This is a hazard! I’ve already lost two cats in this thing. There should be a warning sticker or something. I assumed the cats would float, but they sunk like rocks into the lube. And no, it’s not what you think. Don’t be disgusting. I was trying to create my own cat lube-wrestling league. You know, for sickos.

Crushed Dreams

By

This toy brought me sorrow. I made the mistake of thinking that this was going to be an ACTUAL tornado that I was going to get to keep as a pet. I eagerly purchased it and prepared for its arrival. I tied down all loose items that I valued and boarded all the windows of my home. This was a painstaking process, as I have a rather large Precious Moments collection. Knowing its nature, I did not purchase any shelter. Since it is a weather phenomenon, I sort of figured it wouldn’t need any. I’m not sure what tornadoes eat, so I bought a couple of trailers and some old lawn furniture, judging by what I usually see strewn about on TV after one has gone through somewhere. The box arrived, and it was much smaller than I had anticipated. Even an F1 would have required a really large delivery truck. When I got this tiny box, I figured maybe they had vacuum sealed it, and somehow it would spring into real life size when I opened it. I decided to think of a name before I opened it. “Stormy” was too obvious. I finally decided on “Sprinkles”; I thought it was a
fun-loving name that would look good on a collar. I tore the box open, anxious to meet my new pet. It was a really tiny cylindrical tube. At first there was nothing in there but what appeared to be water. I figured, sure, clouds (that tornadoes are made of) are made of water vapor…so that makes sense. I just have to make the water evaporate, and—bam—clouds and my pet tornado will appear. There were NO INSTRUCTIONS. Fortunately, I remember learning about the water cycle in elementary school…so I knew that heat was required to create water vapor. I wanted to meet my pet tornado as quickly as possible, so I assumed the microwave was the best way to heat the water up in a hurry. What I didn’t know is that the container that Pet Tornado comes in is NOT MICROWAVE SAFE. It exploded, and the plastic shrapnel killed my parakeet and burnt me, and the water never even evaporated. I just got “pet superheated precipitation flying out of a small kitchen appliance and causing second degree burns.” Injured and disheartened, I waited a few minutes anyway to see if the water would evaporate into a cloud and suddenly spawn a tornado. Nothing. Nothing happened at all. Next time I’m getting a stupid goldfish.

My son told me to give this little thing 4 stars

He enjoys it a great deal, and he has even given it a name, John. We don’t know John’s “F” category is, but we’ll update as soon as we find out.

I bought this for my 5-yr-old cousin that lives in NY; we are living in TX. Every time she heard of a tornado in TX, she would think we were dead. We got this for her, and she loved it. It’s a cute toy and entertaining. Some tornado facts on the back. Cute for the price I paid.
