Freddy Flossisaurus

Tell me what I'm missing here, please.

Cheap stuffed puppet: $10.00

Fake dentures from gag shop: $5.00

Toothbrush: $1.00

Total cost of teaching device: $16.00, max. And that's paying retail!

So why does Freddy Flossisaurus cost $316.00 at this medical-supply site!?!

[edit: checking back in 2012, it appears that Freddy is sadly no longer for sale. So I removed the link. -Alex]

That's just creepy. A Flossisaurus? His lower jaw looks like it was sewn on as an after thought. It looks more like Granpa on Thanksgiving after too much turkey and beer, just before he asks you to pull his finger. 🐛

I gotta get out more.

That Looks Like a Ghetto Crack Ass High Meth Smokin' Barney Wannabe. I am Offended!!! and what's he holding? a yellow crack pipe? why are his eyes half open? or are they half closed? The clown doll from Poltergeist wasn't as frightening. This thing is freaking me out!

It reminds me of Jerry Seinfeld, for some reason.

The extra $300 mostly went to cover medical insurance for the worker who sewed the teeth into the mouth of the dinosaur - no anesthetic.
